Help with Sewmor

Can anyone tell me what order to place these pieces that popped off the bobbin winder guide? I have tried it several different ways, but can't decide which is correct. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

What parts are missing? If you need a bobbin winder tire just get a generic one and put it on. Does it work otherwise?

The parts appear to be laid out in the correct order where they’re at. See my copy of your photo for part numbers.

Place Spring #2 on top of Screw & Washer #3.
Place Cup #1 on top of Spring #2.
Hold the sandwich together to compress the Spring between the Cup and the Washer,
and move the sandwich over to insert Screw into the near side of Post #4.

Make sure that the shoulder of the screw is inside of the washer when you tighten the screw. The screw goes in until the shoulder makes tight contact with the post. The cup will then be spring-loaded against the post. You can flex the cup away from the post with your fingernail when done.

I can't help with the problem, looks like CD has that taken care of anyway, but I wouldn't mind a better picture of your machine.:)

Thanks, CD! That was just the info I need! Wouldn't you know, as I was inspecting the screw and washer, I fumbled and dropped them on the floor. I found the screw right away, but 20 minutes on my hands and knees with a flashlight and dust mop turned up nothing! I will try again in the morning in daylight. I sure appreciate the help though!

Here she is, guys! Isn't she purty? Charcoal grey and pink! I call her Two-Ton Tilly, which I realize is an exaggeration, but it sure doesn't seem like it if I have to haul her anywhere. I took her to a class recently where she created quite a stir, but it sure seemed like a loooooonnnnnngggggg haul to the parking lot afterwards!

She runs great, Miriam. I have been using her to make fabric bowls like these, although I may be winding my bobbins elsewhere for now!
