Threading A Singer 7-5

[Kiwishovel]

Hi all, I am new to this site and need help. I have just got a lovely singer 7-5 and I am having problems threading the machine. Does anyone have any pictures as I think a part is missing around the tension spring.

I have downloaded the manual and this is where I get confused. In the manual (page 8) it states after into the loop of the thread take up-spring, under the staple (7,Fig8 and9).

I do not have this staple, My machine is different to the 7-31. I have a vibrating foot not a alternating foot.

I am not sure if I am missing this part (I cannot seem to find a spot for it to go) or I am thinking it all wrong.

If someone has a 7-5 and they could take a photo that would be great.

I did this for a Consew 733R / Seiko SLH-2B machine, most of this threading should be the same or similar enough to get you through. I hope.

Thanks Gregg. I think I need to fabricate some missing items.

Thanks again
