Yes, the needle is in with the flat side to the left. The missing stitch adjustment screw likely as nothing to do with it, just thought I would put that in just in case. That video is great Sammie1, I watched it and will go check on it and report back.
Mickey2-the machine was a clean as a whistle when I got it, not a speck of dust, lint, thread, or grease, but the brush cups had grease in them thankfully. Really strange! It had been put in another cabinet, one I had never seen before with spindle legs and 1 large drawer on the side. I have several machines with knee controls but this was the first one I had seen with the foot pedal/knee control combination, very clever. I bought if off of Craigslist from some resellers, don't know where they got it and they certainly hadn't cleaned it or done anything to it. I will be back later!
