Unfortunately this is a singer without the dial later Singers used. It only uses a little bent thingy to show the tension which is totally fine. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to assemble it correctly. Does anyone have any idea or a manual that shows this particular version of tension assembly? I couldn't find one anywhere.
Any help is appreciated,
Best, Robert
if not, I have one of these that is from the same factory that I can share assembly instructions
I tried swapping it with a new assembly but the tension pin also had to be replaced and it just was a little off somehow so I had to get the old one working 😃
