Can see much with your pic's but ( industry standard ) almost all cutouts same , and you got Felt or Rubber corner tabs (bumpers) in the routed-out corners for riding  flush height with table top . I see rubber corners up front there in your Pic. in the cut routing .

Rubber in the corners. Just not sure what's adjustable.

Hinged corners heights and front corners . You can pull the rubber corner off . There probably a couple finish Nails or Staple, with the the head just buried below the surface . If it was routed a little to deep or the rubber bumper to low . pull it out and add a spacer under it to add little height 'till satisfied' , nail it back down and bury the the nail heads so the head not banging the head corners .

Helical gears top and bottom have gear covers that are packed in grease.  Line up the two white dots on the left side of the handwheel with the white dot on the casting.  If everything is adjusted correctly, this is the point where we remove the bobbin case.  These dots are the one and only thing they are there for, in this case.

See attached.

Perfect. Thanks, Gregg!

The takeup lever isn't quite at its highest position when the dots are lined up. It seems to be about an inch off on the wheel if I hand turn it until it is at top dead center, so to speak. 

Do you by chance have info on how to adjust the presser foot pressure for the -1?

Just on a note about those top and bottom , gear, grease pack covers . There not for just making extended lubrication maintenance . Those covers make for making a 'much quieter' operating sew machine . I was sewing on a cheaper Mitsubishi model that has no helical gear covers packed in grease . that thing is Obnoxiously LOUD  .Those grease pack covers dampen out a lot of noise .

Thanks for the tip. I definitely plan on adding those.

On my older 206rb, you have to line up the white dots just like Gregg said.  Then the bobbin case pops right out.

You also need a drip pan unless you plan to get oil on your knees while stitching.
