Default Upper thread feeding

Note the spring. There is no opening in the triangle that is at the head of the spring. (5) I have tried to get the thread into it, no luck. I finally got it through there with tweezers, pliers and an awl. What confuses me is how the thread is supposed to go around the hook (4) at the bottom under the spring, and go up through the spring at all! I assumed the spring was bent closed, and even tried to open it a little without success. I didn't want to break anything!

Joe Jr, If I decide to get rid of the machine, do you want it?
