I found a close up of the tension.
You unscrew it to loosen it and there is a slit on the side you place the tread between there
here is the pic

Also I looked but I am unable to find the manual for yours but here is an inline manual for mine and you may be able to figure it out from this

Mine is the boye shuttle number 7 and I think that should be yours as well but I am not sure. When I have a bit more time I can look to see what the shuttle and needle takes
Here is my take on it
50$ is good for it. I love my domestic never have problems always a great stitch.
If you are looking to sew on it everyday and are not looking to add to a "collection" then I would say pass on it. The shuttle can be hard to find and I have paid 15$ for 10 needles (sometimes I have seen them for more)
So it wouldn't be good to be sewing all the time on it.
If you just want it for sometimes sewing and more of a conversation piece then I think its okay you could possibly do a better deal but $50 is not bad.
