Argh!!! I broke my tension spring
Man, I just can't win. I had my machine running smoothly but wanted to clean up a little behind my tension disk and the spring fell out. It was quite gunked up so I cleaned it too, when I went to put it back in, I think I must have put it in wrong, because it broke. I don't even know where to get a new one from.

Jenny at Sew-classic is reasonably quick. Just order one. I think they are less than $2.

Unfortunately the ones at sew classic are not the ones I need. Mine is a flat circle thing with a little hook sticking off the side. Those all look like they have some depth to them. I have a sewing store near me that has vintage parts so I am going to check them out today.
