Re: tension for W&W D9
Thank you Brenda and Miller. I just bough a no9 in the 60,000 range and my tension assembly was installed incorrectly. Raising the presser foot lifter would not release the tension. Fixed now though!

Re: No9 Manual
I don't know which one that I have. I know that it's a number 9 and it's a treadle. I don't know how to tell the difference between the different nines. Carol of northwestern California.
