I am wondering if anyone has an extra one of these tension shafts from an old 221..I just bought a 221 today and it looks like there was a problem with the tension unit....the screw/nut that goes on last when it is assembled slides off..I thought it was the problem so I swithched the entire tension unit from my other 221...same problem with the other tension unit too...I also put the tension unit I thought was defective on my other machine and it goes on without a problem and does not slide off my other machine.....so now I think it is the tension shaft that maybe has been stripped???
..if anyone has the 221 manual on page 20 of the green manual it is in Fig 20....called stud "O"...I saw one for sale for $14.99..hoping to get one for less..seems like a lot for 1 stud..I also am looking for a bed plate...with the screw for the underneath part of the machine...
I am willing to trade for fabric or sewing supplies...
