This sounds familiar. I had to teach myself how an overlocker works and sort out all the settings for the upper and lower loopers and set their timing. Very impressive bit of engineering...Coffee machine starting playing up yesterday. Poor pressure from the pump. Instantly wife fires up about the imminent and pressing need to rush straight out and spend big $$$ buying a replacement. "We're not going through lockdown without any decent coffee", she screams. It's like she doesn't know me at all. The amount of shit I have fixed over the years would blow your mind. I haven't even put a screwdriver on it and she's already at me to get a replacement before everything is shut down or sold out. I make a joke about it not being like a chest freezer full of toilet paper.
Anyhow, needed a break from work this arvo so pulled the coffee machine apart. Removed the pump, completely disassembled it, figured out how it works, found that there is a little checkvalve which uses a springloaded ball. The spring needed a quick "tune-up" and now the machine is back together and good as new. LTIL: total time taken under 20 minutes. That's less time than it would have taken me to drive to the shops and catch Covid-19.
Wife's response when the machine fired back to life: "I knew you'd fix it, can you make me a coffee?".
They've just finished the harvest so I won't feel bad setting fire to all the almond trees that surround my houseYou also have the benefit of living somewhere flat, so you can see em coming.

This is an early 80s Husky made in Japan. It’s beautifully made - no plastic bits. She also has some similar vintage European sewing machines I’ve done some work on and again so nice.This sounds familiar.

I can imagine the timing is very precise, I had a go at our old sewing machine but the plastic parts were too brittle so easier to buy a used Husky .

Not me! She sews quite a lot and learnt quickly the older ones are much easier to use and get much better results. And also that its super expensive to get them repaired/serviced "professionally"... I got my first job repairing a lot of broken parts from the last time her favourite machine saw a service shop...Über hipster.
