The link I just sent has pictures of the same exact parts as my Italian machine. Basically, comparing the US upper tension and mine/Elizabeht's:
- the discs are symmetric, same on front & back
- the little round thing (with the upper hook on the US models) have no hook here, just a flat tip pointing up
- the dial is not fixed by the little hook but instead with a big screw-thing in front of it
Aaaaah, my cat died 2 years ago, liver failure at 18 years old (I've had many cats, and didn't know this was actually a common illness for cats). I tried to "fix" her during 1 long year, until the end. Our dog seemed so alone afterwards (and he was starting to think way too much he was a human), and I was still so sad, that we got the little dog you saw on the pictures to mend things. It worked! We're crazy about him. And our older dog gets to play again.
Your mamma & daughter cat story sounds like it would be a good YouTube
