Default And while I was out picking up one machine...

... I picked up this one also, $40. The machine turns freely, attachments, extra needles, even has the shuttle! I really like the smaller table size.
There seems to be something missing from the middle of nose end, based on the little hole there. I'm hoping it's just a thread guide or something similar and not a strange tension spring, but I will start searching for that information tomorrow.

no tension parts are missing That couple of leaves on the top do an amazing job. I wish all machines have would them.

What a great buy. I look forward to seeing you get it cleaned up and running.

I'm no expert but, think maybe a thread guide goes in the little hole on the end.

Very nice machine and cabinet.

I have this machine apart right now on the work bench. I will be posting some pictures when I make some progress, interesting check on the thread tension, but nothing is missing (Leon already knew that).

Do I see a manual for the machine or is it some other type of paper work?

No manual, that's a bag with some brand new 20x1 needles, which I assume this machine uses, haven't made it that far yet.
