I have never taken the tension dial apart on any of my vintage machines, so it probably isn't that, but thanks anyway.

I have looked over and over online for schematic of bobbin winder. Haven't found one that I can use. Thanks

Kitsy, maybe you could call a local person who repairs machines, e-mail them the photo of parts and see if they can help you. Many people are very nice about these things and will help you out. Good luck. Let us know what you find out. Yolanda Wood River

Thanks to all for your advice. I am determined to get this thing back together come hell or high water. I'll let you helpful people know when I do. Wishful thinking huh?

The first are earrings, and they may irritate your ears. The third part might put a spring in your step (depending on how little you are) and the washers will not help your laundry.

My DH is a mechanic and sometimes finds extra parts. Sometimes parts are necessary, so I'd suggest taking pics as you dismantle. Totally insane the number of parts he finds on his work bench at times!

Thanks for that CAS, sounds like a kindred spirit. As for those who don't understand taking a machine apart, they are vintage, very inexpensive and easy to clean and repair. (EXCEPT FOR THE BOBBIN WINDER.) The only thing I have had a problem with so far and I have 13 machines.
