Thanks Miriam - I did take the tension dial apart at least 3 times because each time I did, it seemed to get a little better. I noticed a little light rust on the discs and buffed it out. Rubbed off the springs too and put a tad bit of oil on metal to metal to make it go back together easier.
How would I know if any of the two springs 'needed' to be replaced? By this issue I'm having?
Thanks again - Nan
