The pan head screw does not work.  The original one is a slotted flat head because there's not much clearance between the hook and the bobbin case.  It rotated fine until I needed to back it out to decrease bobbin tension, then it binds.

I suppose I could pull it out and  reshape the head. But another hour or so of screwing around isn't worth the effort.

Too bad, I was >this< close to having the tension balanced ...

 

 

Just thought I'd jump in here & let you know we have these screws in stock.

It sounds like he kit-bashed a farm supplies store screw into the bobbin case. If true, the threads may be ruined for the proper tension screw and he might need a complete bobbin case.

Not at all.  The thread is #0-80. I just shortened it.  If it were a flathead I'd be in business.  A. new hook and case will be here in a day or two.
