    I have this 1948 model 210K machine and it’s a goer, like it was new but I dont know how to set the thread tensioner.
    I unscrewed the knob and it sprung apart of course, so there seems to be a tric to putting it back so it works within proper tensioning range of 0-9.
    I dont know if there is a spacer or what missing, maybe not, it all looks right.
    I think it is just a setup procedure.

    Any one able to advise please?

    But as it turns out that is a good place to start looking for info about the singer sewing machines.
    Good work moto.

    I thought that this was some sort of motorbike forum. At least it was posted in the correct forum…

    Cheers

    Singer actually made motorcycles from 1900-1915 and prior to that they built safety bicycles and even prior to that, they made Penny Farthings.
    So it is kinda relevant, and Wikd’s post gave us Googlemysters something to hunt.

    Thanks Moto, but i must admit to an certain ‘anticipation’ before I clicked the link:kiss:

    Luck as it is with me sometimes, found the original instruction book with the old lady down the road and this sorted the problem and then some.
    I also photographed the whole thing with digi cam :)

    Might have to continue this with “Sewing tips and tricks”….

    Who can make me a needle that will take sailmakers ‘whipping twine’?
    It would need a hole with a 0.5mm dia.

    Tough, maybe but this is old technology (1948) and just a matter of having a special skill & tools I think
