Trying to restore this Baby Lock 5280e but having some issues

Ignore the thread tension and fabric gathering, I haven't dialed it in yet.

I have my foot on the pedal, as I go along it sounds as though its slowing down. Im now "flooring" it as it continues to slow.

This machine was given to me as a gift and likely hadnt been used since the 80s. A youtube video by Rebecca Rice Ware has me believing it has something to do dry oil (likely possible) or the stitch length eccentric CAM seizing up inside the feed dog bushing.

I am new to trying to repair any machines, not sewing though, so please be kind. I live in pretty remote city in central America so I cant just go drop it off at a sewing machine repair shop at the moment.

Has anybody experienced this issue? And can offer any insight. Thank you!

Smelly water with tankless hot water heater

As far as im concerned theres no anode to go bad in an tankless hot water heater. Were not using the fresh water holding tank, however we bleached the system anyway. Smell persists. We are on a well though. I haven't noticed the actual water smell, its more of an egg smell that fills the camper when the water runs. My TT is a 2024 Forest river cherokee Grey wolf. Practically new.

Im at a beach campground that actually has a well. The water table is extremely shallow. Unfortunately we are the only people full time here, the rest of the RVs here are Air bnbs and i wouldnt know any of my neighbors if i saw them to ask if theyre experiencing the egg smell.

What do you think? Any other reason id be getting egg smells?

I checked the battery and everything looks normal to me. Unless there is more to a battery issue than meets the eye...

▲ 4 r/Parkinsons

Has anybody set up a Special Needs Trust for themselves or a loved one with Parkinsons? Im looking towards this for my mother.

Shes 63, owns her small 1br home in florida that is paid outright. Her former employer is retiring and is closing out the 401k account. I did a bit of research and I thought putting the 401k contributions and her home into a special needs trust.

If so, I am looking for a lawyer in the south florida area that can help us with this process, if anybody has any suggestions or recommendations. Thanks everyone!
