Yep, don't ya love it? Sold one in perfect working order, lady just "couldn't get it to make a good stitch". I looked it over, put the needle in the right direction, adjusted the tensions, and BEFORE I COULD WALK AWAY she was already screwing up the tension.

I'ved never had that particular screw loosen voluntarily; perhaps she "messed with" that as well. And got the tension back right; she had tinkered with both top and bobbin tension and it was some kind of a mess. Glad that is behind me.
Now to veg out the rest of the day.
