@Shelnua: Hi, my experience is limited to restoring vintage cast iron machines. Yours is aluminium but the mechanisms are identical as far as I know.
If you can tell me what the specific issue is with the machine, I can have a look at it for you. I am in Templeogue.
I generally strip all the parts (except the gears), cleaned and oil everything.
I don't have parts so if any are missing/damaged I would be unable to help you.

Thank you very much for your prompt and helpful response. The problem was that the stitches on the wrong side of work were tangled in places. I spent a couple of hours this evening tightening and loosening the tension wheel and lo and behold I think the problem is solved!!! Trial and error. The setting works on cotton and on tweed so fingers crossed.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my query.
By the way the restored machines look amazing.
Regards
M

@Shelnua: Thanks. I spend more time on the tension than cleaning/oiling seeking a perfectly straight stitch which I have managed on only 2/5 201s!
It is essential to use the same weight and brand of thread top and bottom. Gutermann's (made in in Germany) is the best that I have tried.
Glad to hear you solved your problem.
