The people on this board are wonderful!!! I usually put something down when taking things apart too but I didn't realize the screw was that loose and the tension piece was springy and it flung the screw and I have no idea how far it flew or where it sent it. I am still looking. I am unpacking so have boxes all around it could have flew into one of these. I am looking for another bobbin case online and am praying I can find one.

This way if a screw slips out of my hand or drops loose from the thing I'm working on it will land on the towel & now bounce or roll off the table. Believe me, I learned this the hard way when working on small items. Good luck in finding your missing screw & with restoring your beautiful machine. You seem to have a ton of good help here on the board for resources & information.
