Members Teslabolt Posted January 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2020 Yes, the pin is inside there and it moves. Here's another video. I am manually applying pressure to part #13. When it moves, the plates move out like they should. Second part of the video, when the foot lift is up, the pin moves about 3mm, but clearly that is not far enough to engage the plate.

toxo Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 No 25 is obviously there. I notice you still haven't tightened up the knurled tension knob. I'm betting all will be well after you've done that. The spring only has to move slightly to release the thread. Quote
Members Teslabolt Posted January 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2020 Sorry, forgot to mention that I tightened it to the max, and it did not even come close to touching it. Quote Sewing Machines: Consew 206RB-1
Members dikman Posted January 16, 2020 Members Report Posted January 16, 2020 It looks like the tension release is working ok in that video. As Toxo said the loops on the bottom appear to be not enough upper thread tension. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

toxo Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 When you tightened to the max could you pull the thread through the plates. If yes then maybe there's a problem with the way the top tension unit is assembled. Quote

I have checked everything in that article and I have the pin (not sure if the length is correct -- can some cross-check pretty please??) My tension release slide is not broken or bent. seems like either the pin is not long enough or there is some issue with the thread controller disc. part #26 Quote Sewing Machines: Consew 206RB-1
toxo Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 I don't remember how but I remember the height of the presser foot made the problem go away for me. I feel like I'm the blind leading the blind. Quote
Members Teslabolt Posted January 17, 2020 Author Members Report Posted January 17, 2020 Is this routing correct? (Xray version) Quote Sewing Machines: Consew 206RB-1
toxo Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 No. Why have you done it differently to the way you did it in the earlier video? It doesn't go over the pin. Quote
