I seam to have a problem!

My very lovely industrial machine has called time ... Bugger!!
We have stripped it as far as we dare but I fear the damage is from a broken needle hitting the mechanism below and perhaps causing a scratch/burr on the metalwork, thus stressing the thread and breaking it.... Repeatedly!

Rest of the day has been brill.
1. Lovely long chat with Layla about our impending weekend to Marakesh.
2. Good outcome from a mixed up/cross wired piece of nastiness.
3. I'm going to be a Festival Grannie!!!
