Tension discs are too tight even when loosened off. Does anyone else own one of these machines? It works except the tension seems a bit off to me.

Do you know the model #? Are they tension discs clean and rust free?

I'm guessing a model 12 or 15, maybe even a VS1 if it's a domestic machine, either way, the tension should be fixable. It might need to be taken appart to be cleaned and polished.
