What are these for?
Does anyone know what this little selector (small white dial with +- on it ) is for? There's also another larger selector thats kinda star shaped and sits above the needle bar assembly. I never noticed these adjustors until I started cleaning and oiling this machine. This is the Necchi 4795 I'm working on. Thanks for all the help.

Most of the older machines had some system of varying the tension on the presser bar spring, thus varying the presser foot pressure.

Before I joined this site I never gave a thought to the inner workings and cleaning of a sewing machine. As long as it would sew a straight line that looked good I was a happy camper. In the recent past I've obtained several vintage machines and learned there's a whole lot more than making that line look good. You guys are the best.
