bassicsew Report post Posted 16 hours ago 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 3 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 3 hours ago by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
