Duh ....yes..... never looked at it....... so off to the workshop to test it out.  Thanks

Update.....good news......  persistence paid off.  First off I was given a link to a clear, hi-res copy of the operators manual to circumvent the photo copy of a copy of a copy and can nopw see the arrows and bolt numbers,........and was reminded to RTFM.....so I read the operators manual and all my answers were there.......  Found it difficult to go with accurate mm measurments when it says to tap gently so fell back on my mechanic feeler gauges so a close fit is wehn I can slide easily a 1.5 mm between the needle and the needle deflector...etc.   after moving the complete bobbin assembly back and forth and moving the gear drive back and forth with the help of a second head and a third hand...... we went back to square one as per the singer assembly plant and removed the bobbing holder..... recentered the drive gear and were able, using the cut groove in the various shafts get a close line up of the hook....... than fiddled for fine adjustments.  If you take the time to find the one set screw that actually locks on the grooved shaft, using a flash light in the set screw hole, you can do wonders.    By the end, about 5 hours later, we manually rotated the machine to stitch us a nice even stitch at 5 to the inch.....tension just about OK on heavy canvass...... tomorrow we power up so I can finish my side curtain.......also trashed the existing needle as we discovered a "burr" on the tip,,,,,,, had more in stock.....so set up for #92 thread, top and bottom, with a # 20 needle.  Bought a replacement needle plate that will not fit as the Vee groove for the machine screws was not done deep enough...... will adjust with a stone on the drill press at a later time.  The new made in China bobbin holder was checked with a micrometer and was very accurate.......  Thanks for the help, moral support and all the positive vibes sent my way!!!!!!
