Thanks Bob, I think I get it, I'll look at it tonight. Seems like a lot to bend, but I'm sure you're right. Thanks again. Mark

Thanks KAYAK45, I'm finally able to spend some time with this machine again and the part I thought I was missing is there. Bob If your watching it's a 111W155 that won't release the thread tension. I don't seem to have enough throw on the tension release when I raise the foot. I've taken that section apart now and can't see the problem. It seems as if the tension release rod is about 1/4" too short. It measures 2 1/4" long. The tension release slide has about 1/8" offset and seems to be intact. Is it just the wrong rod in there somehow? Thanks for any help Mark

KAYAK45 I've done the same trick with the pulley and it does work great. Never looked into servos, how much do they run? tat2 I'm looking for the tension release plunger which I can't find, how do I get in touch with Ray with Singer online. Googles not helping.
