Sometimes it pays to look in the most obvious place: I found an operating instructions document hiding in plain sight at the Durkopp Adler documentation page for the 269

Here's the relevant diagram on how to properly thread the pre-tension unit for the bobbin winder:

If you want to get a new pre-tension unit (presumably with bigger tension disks), it's available from AAAsew in Canada (USD $96, search for part number 0221-110154-DAD. Slightly sketchy ordering system, but I've successfully ordered twice from them), or from College Sewing in the UK for 50 pounds (USD $75, world class ordering system)

D'oh! Now I notice this darn thread is nearly two years old - how did this pop back onto my front page for this forum, making me think it's all new?
