The thread tension dial flew off my machine and will not go back on as the threads seem to be stripped. I have a Necchi model 549. I cannot find a replacement tension dial. Is it possible that the tension dial from a different brand machine or different model Necchi will work? I know this machine is older, but it is solid and is the best of all the machines I have. Please help me find a replacement dial. Thank you.

Kay is in Harrisburg, PA. I searched for Necchi spare arts and cannot find the tension dial. Perhaps the machine is too old. Would a tension dial from a different brand machine be an alternative?
