Thank you everybody you definitely know how to make someone feel wanted ..wow much appreciated and a BIG thanks to earthwalker for the tip on fixing bobbin tension worked great as you can see in the photo i had to connect a new power lead to this as it arced out when i first put it back together so just a word of warning with old machines BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU FIRST CONNECT them TO POWER i didn't get hurt as the circuit breaker kicked in but just a word of warning though...
