Thank you for all your help. The upper tension doesn't work which is why I want a repair manual and a place I can find parts. I have taken it apart and all parts look right but no matter how much I screw it in there is no tension on the top. The bobbin tension seems good. I am wondering if the pin in the upper tension has been replaced in the past and is a wee bit too long but I don't want to take any off it in case that isn't the problem. Therefore a need for a repair manual and a source for parts. Oh and mine isn't a hand crank. And I have a manual and found a parts list that isn't very informative. But I need a source to get the parts.
