dikman Report post Posted January 31, 2020 Gregg, perhaps that's the answer to why the generic one is different to the OP's original, being generic it's meant to be adjusted to suit different machines? Makes sense to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes sense to me. More like people are making things and they don't know what they are doing. And then someone copied their mistakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teslabolt Report post Posted February 1, 2020 New tension assembly installed. Problem solved. Glad to close this chapter out! When I raise the knee left lever or the hand lift leaver, the discs separate like they are supposed to and the thread releases like butter. Night and day difference. No way I could have used this machine even with the mods. The old disc assembly is complete garbage. I also think the higher quality bobbin played a big part. If you are having difficulty, perhaps get one made in Japan. It's proudly stamped on the side. Thanks all for your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
