Joe,
You spelled my name OK.
The only possible problem with lowering the needle bar is the needle clamp hitting the foot. Sometimes this will happen depending on the length on the old needle. If it was a really long one then the clamp with the change is lowered so much as to interfere with the travel of the bar.

My machine does have the little spring you just described. It is complete and functional. But also a more stout wire or spring inboard of that one that did something. I'll take a pic of mine I guess and post it.
I have some of the MTx190s thanks to Mizkaki (Sorry Cathy I know I didn't spell that right.) But I got them after I'd started the cleaning process and haven't had any chance to try them out yet.
