I haven't tried but I would say no because the thread then drags the spring up too high from memory (it's in pieces at the moment)

Just to let everyone know, my machine is now sewing like a dream, thanks!

I fixed the pin/post with loctite and a wee tap, thanks to @Northmount

I swapped the tension springs from the new assembly that didn't fit for my old springs on the original assembly - thanks to @suzelle

I followed this video on youtube which helped a lot, though not the same machine.

Keri,

Sorry it's been a long while since you posted this. Congrats on getting your machine running! Persistence paid off! 

Good job!
