Don't you know it I was calling the part by the wrong name! No wonder the search wasn't working for me. Its a ring! Figured that out just after I posted. Thanks for the links, I added it to the fav's so it shouldn't take so long next time.

Joe, Just my luck there out of stock for my size, lol!

Haveplenty, when I get the gunk out from under my nails I will be right over, snicker! Just a short jump to your place from here!

I did come up with a plan and went to the hardware. Got some smaller rubber rings and put 3 on the wheel so I could at least load up a bobbin. Not pretty but it worked well enough for me to load a bobbin and test the tension. That's going to need some work!

I just made a new post. I cleaned up 3 machines I picked up at GW and one I had around, came home and just had to do mine. So I shot a few pics. Hope it helps someone.

Hey congrats. My oldest son just moved to Seattle - he landed a REALLY good job with Amazon. I do miss the GK.

Good deal on the Amazon job. I have a nephew and his wife in Seattle, both working something about computers, but not Amazon. It is a very nice place, my sister says. She and her husband have been up a time or two, and liked it except for the rain.

Not sewing related, but my daughter just got her results from her pharmacy state boards, and she is now a doctor. Whoo hoo!! And she took the test with bronchitis, two swigs of prescription cough syrup, and a cough so bad that she had cracked a rib, we found out two days after the test. Either way, my baby daughter is a doctor.

Congratulations..... that's an accomplishment to be proud of.

They don't have to hog up all that rain... we could use some here - we got a little shower is all today and not everywhere. We don't mow our grass we just walk on it and it breaks off - well except for the weeds - they thrive.

April1930shoppe has them, too. Do you want to clean mine, too? It's not very dirty so it won't take much.
