bassicsew Report post Posted Thursday at 06:01 PM hi there…just bought a new-2-me pfaff 23-10 cylinder machine… having issues with tension mechanism on the face plate… 1. check spring is quite mangled…anyone have a spare or know of a singer? crossover… 2. on the back of the tension assembly(inside face plate) shouldn’t there be a rod of some sort (traveling inside the mechanism) to force/allow tension discs to release when foot is raised ??? mine is missing this ‘rod’… ( hope this makes sense!!! thnx in advance, steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted 20 hours ago (edited) Please post pictures of your machine and the parts you have problems with. The Singer 17 is a very similar machine if you need a manual look up a Singer 17 Manual. However here is a German language manual for your machine. Not sure if the Singer 17 parts are interchangeable but in case you do not find a spring I would try a complete new Singer 17 or Singer 16 tension unit. Not a big loss if it does not fit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/191942998278 https://www.ebay.com/itm/143871720894 Pfaff_23_Manual_-_German.pdf Edited 20 hours ago by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
