Replace / Install a Missing Tension Unit on a Singer Model 401A
My 401A machine, "Trouble", did not have a tension unit when I bought it. I've gathered up spare parts and this video shows how to install and "zero out" the needle thread tension unit. Includes rust removal and cleaning and oiling of the tension unit when needed. A good tutorial to increase your knowledge of SInger tension units, their maintenance, installation, and adjusting. Singer models 401A, 403A, 404.
