Yes, just slightly to the right of the 'thread slot'  , almost obscured . You can just see the tensioner 'passing' over the slot .  But be gentle with it, its just a tiny little screw. I adjusted it using one of those    ' precision' screw drivers. I only needed the slightest turn clockwise , and thats all it took for my old Seiko to work just nicely.  I did that many years ago when I first got the machine  , and thats how its stayed ever since., .It took me an hour of swearing and throwing tools across my workshop to learn  about that  "tiny little screw"   

Feel free to ask any of  us   questions, as  I know how ' hair pullingly * ' frustrating some machines can be. 

* ' hair pullingly ' << new expression I've just made up  

Hope this helps ,

New swear words will also be invented and tools flung if one inadvertently unscrews the tiny bobbin tension screw all the way and it falls out!

Thankfully, it never got that far   

" New swear words will also be invented and tools flung if one....."  .....forgets to fit a vital piece of  hardware  before gluing and stitching and assembling    ...but thats another story for another thread .

"hair pullingly" - for that to be any good one needs something called hair.
