99K tension wire in wrong place
I know . . . every time I post I have a problem. But believe me I am truly gratful for the help.
With that said . . . my little 99k hand crank machine has a tension wire the is residing at 6 o'clock instead of 9. I'm not sure how to adjust it. Can anyone help me?

I will repost a nice PDF file that was pointed out to me as soon as I can locate it, and make the suggestion that there is a little "shelf" or notch that the wire spring "clips" over, have you tried just lifting it up over that and seeing if it might not have just slipped down?

Take off the tension discs (watch my video on how to clean a machine, Part 1 I think, to see how) and behind the discs you will see that there is a ridge for the wire to rest against at the top which will make it stay in the right position when you put the discs back on.
