I have not had to go looking for this setting on a 301 to date. I am far from clueless when it comes to the repair of these machines.

No one said it couldn't be done, only that it shouldn't. It's really belittling an entire community though to be so presumptuous as to say that your comments go over everyone's head. Those of us who bother to try to decipher your atrocious spelling, grammar and punctuation are not inferior to you and I would guess that I'm not the only one who's offended by your implication of your higher intellect.

Eccentric - Is an adjective. The item in question looks like a screw. Many people will understand "turn the screw" before they will understand the "eccentric pin needs adjustment". Yes, if I'd been thinking of nothing but sewing machines this evening, I would have realized it was a pin and not a screw but I had 5 minutes to look and see how this mechanism worked and then describe it so Sheri can fix her machine while taking a break from the other work I was doing. At the end of the day, my description was likely enough make it clear enough to see what needed to be done.
