You're really not that far off. It's certainly not enough to pitch the machine. There's also a possibility that the tension spring in the bobbin case is damaged but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I'm going to go and try to beat a bentwood case into submission, only because I'm avoiding the horror show that is the industrial clutch motor I opened up to service last night. I'll be swearing right along with you.

DH learned that last night. Took a set screw out of said machine's light so the motor could come off the table, while standing. "Heard it bounce away" is what he told me. *sigh* still haven't found that one.

I played peekaboo with a FW tension screw last week. Looked all over for it. It's harder to see with the bottom cover on:
