It looks as though the take up levers black gaurd is bent in and right.  Making a person consider an alternate thread routing as the norm.  Good pickup there!

Its a good lookin machine, no wear marks.

good day

As dikman said.... the thread is snagged around your tension unit.

It also looks like the incoming thread is BEHIND the two tension discs instead of BETWEEN the two tension disks. Unless the thread is between the tension disk you'll have no top thread tension at all which all but guarantees loops on the bottom.
