Thanks Jimi for the advice. I will give it a go!

Thanks! I am still learning on where to post things so I truly appreciate it!

Hello! This is my first post but not my first visit to this site. Because of all the wonderful advice, I bought a used Pfaff 145. It sews wonderfully (although need to get a servo motor and speed reducer), but my question is, I realized it is missing the thread guide pin on top of the machine (see bottom right photo). It has been sewing fine but I also have only been practicing with it. I have been trying to find the part but having difficulty. I found a universal one on Sailrite's site but I don't think it will fit, but it also looks like something may have broken off in the hole (see left image) but seems unlikely that could happen?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Should I not worry about it...is this part generally specific to each brand/model? Kim
