Default 201 tension problems

OK, I just can't pass up a 201 in a cabinet for $50 or under. Took a road trip up north this time and retrieved a nice 201 with the fancy silver (born in the 40s?).

Got it home and plugged it in . . . and it ran by itself. Changed out the chewed up foot cord and it runs perfect. Cleaned up really nice. Sews crappy.

The stitches on the top look perfect. The stiches on the bottom look like a spider web. I fiddled with the tension knob but it didn't do anything. I'm hoping it's an easy fix. Can someone help . . . please?
