Consew clone

[Gene405]

Hi new guy here. I just bought a neechi 100n which is a big bobbin clone of a consew. Does anyone know which consew machine it is a clone of. When I bought it I pulled it out of the table to load it in my vehicle. When I got home I put it back in and noticed it was rocking in one corner. I saw it was touching the belly pad so pulled the pan planning on dropping it down to fix the issue. Last night I put the head back in with no pan and was going to adjust the knee lift. On the lever that raises the foot I found a spring like retainer or something of that sort. I can't find what it connects to. This is where the clone question comes from trying to find pics or videos of the underside of the machine. Right now I have the lift hooked up wrong and it's not working.  Figured I would ask here knowing someone would know more than me.

Photos of the machine and any bits that you're not sure of always help.

OK looking at pictures of a 206 rb I see that my spring is broken. I see there is a roller lift option going to have to check this out

My internet was out for a few minutes waiting for the Pic to show up so I can post it

OK I figured it out. My spring on the presser foot lever is broke. I'm heading out to the shop to grind some flats on the knee lifter rods to make for better set screw holding. My internet connection has been spotty today so it was hard to provide a picture.

Main thing is you figured out what was wrong.

If you need a spring we have them in stock.
