Finally the machine is working. I bought all the missing pieces my husband put them on and we took the machine to Meissner's in Sacramento. They went through it and got it working. I should have taken it to Meissner's in the first place. My family has been using them for years but no I thought I'd try to find a place closer. I was wrong. Thanks for your all your guidance.

Thank-you very much for your responses. I decided to purchase a new needle bar complete with thread guide, thread guide set screw and needle set screw for the machine. I also purchased felt guide for the machine. This will still put me under 900.00 total - so I don't think it's too bad. Just please agree with me - Once they arrive we'll see what happens.

Good afternoon, I'm new and really need help. I purchased a consew 206rb-2 and the upper thread breaks after 2 revolutions. I downloaded a manual and parts diagrams for a 206rb-1. I think I'm missing just a felt guide and needle bar thread guide. I took it to a repair shop and he explained that I'm missing a needle clamp. He says the needle clamp goes on the needle bar and the thread guide and set screw go into it. I can't find any picture or diagrams for a needle clamp. Can you help me? This is how the machine came.
