The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi,
I have a Kenmore serger my grandmother bought me for temporary use until I got a better one. Well, I am so used to this one that i continue to use it.
Problem: When I ran out of back up needles, I went out and bought Singer needles. Now, it won't sew a thing correctly! I panicked!! Yes I freaked cos it's like my baby. So I am currently not using it and it is killing me!!! I cant find my manual or much info about it. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Should I buy Universal Needles? Am I an idiot? Or is this an actual problem? Please help.
Thank you!

this is not the forum your looking for!

Hmmm...not sure you're an idiot, but I'd say you're a troll for sure!
Dont you have anything better to do with your life than post silly questions on a phonograph board??

Best bet is to flag the post by clicking on the hard to see exclamation point -- -- that appears on the lower right side of the post, itself. This will send a message directly to all of the forum's moderators--whomever logs in first.

I suspect that these posts may be from a spambot--apologies in advance if they're not--since both posts this new member made are totally unrelated to the phonograph hobby, none the follow-on posts were acknowledged by the OP, and a jump to the poster's website appears in all his posts--again unrelated to this forum.

Googling the poster's email address also leads to a wide scattering of posts in other groups, and one outright banning as a spammer.

I went and edited all of the links out of the posts and removed the thread from the Links section. Based on the fact that you have to verify an e-mail to join and pass the ‘human-verification’ question (randomized) to sign up, I doubt that the OP is a bot, but it’s hard not to suspect that the spam part is a very valid observation.

If these posts are made in all seriousness, though, surely there are boards with traffic out there on which they would be on-topic?
