Here's a Domestic ID to verify your model:

Hi Jon,

Thank you for your help. It is a Domestic Minnesota A, looks just like the second picture. I went to our local mom and pop hardware and found a stainless steel pin that works perfectly. I hadn't realize the screw in the collar of the one rod is actually a set screw. Slide the pin in and tightened down the screw and it's good to go. Now to find a spring for the thread tensioner. I'll be checking with Jennie after the holidays.

Thanks again,
Jan
