Default Noise in Kenmore Trispan 88

It sounds exactly like the set screw in the small pulley.

I can't tighten it though.

Do those things ever get frozen?

If so, what would I do?

Attack it daily with a Q-tip and WD-40 until it turns?

It sews nice.

I'm piecing a quilt on it and have done some mending with it and used it to replace a zipper. It's working well but this noise is driving me crazy!

When I first picked it up a couple of months ago it was whisper quiet. It was going to be my stealth machine to sew at night without waking people up.

It has a belt adjuster that's a little floppy but the sound is dead on like a loose setscrew.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
