Members Pintodeluxe Posted October 23, 2020 Members Report Posted October 23, 2020 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. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 24, 2020 Moderator Report Posted October 24, 2020 Replace the cracked thread guide. They are cheap. Just don't lose the tiny top screw that holds it onto the needle bar.

Members FRANKPKNY Posted October 26, 2020 Members Report Posted October 26, 2020 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 Quote
