I have found and used spool holder parts and motors, foot controls, dual socket boxes, tension parts and more.

On mine, I cycled the unit until the feed arm was at the lowest point and adjusted the dogs until they were just short of touching a piece of heavy card stock I laid on top of the needleplate. then checked the cycle to be sure it was up on the the drive portion of the cycle.
