Those tension discs don't look terrible, I think you can save them.  Polish them with very fine emery cloth.  Then buff them with a Scotch brite pad.  I use the maroon colored ones.  

Hopefully that will help.

Replace the cracked thread guide. They are cheap. Just don't lose the tiny top screw that holds it onto the needle bar.

I have the same problem with a cylinder Singer 153W   Installed a new tensioner completely. Even when I run the tension so tight it's just short of breaking the thread.  I thought perhaps the thread lifting arm was out of time. as far as I can tell it's not adjustable?  My thought is that the foot is out of time , but is moves well keeping the needle centered.  Any Ideas would be helpful. I don't mean to hijack this thread , perhaps I should start a new one?  I'm new here. Frankpkny
