I am trying to find some of the underside of the machine and the inside of the needle bar area. If I can I will just take a few shots and label the parts for you all.

Billy,
I found an old black Japanese sewing machine, cleaned it up and everything seems ok but the tension had everything missing but the hole. I tried to put one together from a front tension but I think something might be missing on the very back inside somewhere. I have rebuilt other tensions so getting one together is no problem. Any suggestions? Is there anything special about those kind of tension?

Thanks Billy! I will bookmark this for future reference.
