Dano...Congratulations on your permanent position. Hope it works out well for you. I have a Husqvarna 6460, which has recently started to sew in reverse only. We also cannot turn the stitch selector or remove the stitch programmer cam in the back. We have the service manual, but are wondering if you could point us in the right direction as to what to look for. Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the world of the 6000 series (pre 1980 Viking) There is a "Yahoo Group" called, VIKING SEWING MACHINES PRE 1980. It is moderated by Bill Holman. I'm not sure I have the last name correct. Once you become a member of the group, you have access to everything you need to know about the 6000 series machine, and how it can be fixed. Why it gets stuck in reverse, what happens when the 40 year old grease turns to glue, and the fact that sooner or later, the camstack cracks and must be replaced. Sounds like your machine has finally joind the ranks of a zillion others.
I hope this helps. As you will find out, I could have written a small book about everything that is already available on this web group. They do a much better job than I could.
Congrats on being made permanent! Seems such a rare thing these days in the employment world. Wishing you all the best of the holiday season.
