Mmm. Egg on my face. She's a 201K, not a 66. And I can't assemble her tensioner

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I have been working on a model 66, for a friend of mine, and I couldn't, for the life of me, get the tensioner spring to come off. After looking at the pictures on the above link I see where the problem is :roll: and now I can finish the job!!! :mrgreen:

Yay!!! I'm very happy that you got it all sorted out. I remember the problems I had with my 201. I'd be sewing and suddenly the whole tension assembly would fall off. It had the wrong screw inside the face plate to hold the thing on.
Someone substituted a modern screw that wasn't quite long enough. I trotted down to the OSMG(he's 85) Singer guy and he had just what I needed.

1936 Singer 201K treadle/handcrank. Grandkids were sewing with the hand crank to make quilt squares.
