Viking 3400
Today,I came upon this Viking 4500 at a yard sale, priced at $10! She is very clean and looks to be in decent condition, with a box of attachments and a nice case. The seller said she had picked the machine up at an auction and could not figure out how to thread it.
I even have the original sales slip from 1982. What I do not have is a manual. I found and downloaded a free manual online, and the one page that I need--how to navigate the tension area--is so blurred, that I cannot read it.
I am hoping that someone here might have some experience with this machine and can offer me some assistance. I'm hoping she will turn out to be a workhorse and not a finicky filly. BTW she has got to weigh close to 50 pounds!!

You can download a manual from this site; maybe the thread diagram will be clearer.
