More then likely it is the right pin, probably just gunked up. It is supposed to move freely so it will put pressure on the tension discs when you lower the presser foot.
I sure hope Adobe hasn't changed. I can print only the current page and "actual size" - NOT fit to page or frame. I'll try to get a screen shot tonight. The page that I referred to in previous post says that it is a full size plate. I know those parts manuals that are shown as actual size sure came in handy when I tried to put a 66 back together, as I had mixed all the screws together to clean.

It really depends on which parts you need, especially for a machine this old. If you are talking about the check spring, I would suggest sew-classic. It might not be exact, but close enough to work.

Ebay sometimes has parts for old machines. There may be some OSMG somewhere that would have spare parts. But it really depends on the part needed.
Thanks Mickey2 to linking to the 2nd and 3rd pages to the one I referred to. Putting the tension back together is shown in the 3rd part
