Janice, the problem may lie elsewhere, namely in the two copper 'fingers' on the top of the lamphouse, that engage the V-groove above the gate, and serve to hold the lamphouse (and sprung portion of the gate) firmly against the body of the machine. These little copper fingers often get bent into the wrong position and need to be straightened out so as to firmly pull the lamphouse up into the V-groove. They can be removed from the inside of the lamhouse for straighteneing. When swinging the lamphouse into place when threading the machine, you MUST push down on the lamphouse against the spring so that the clips then enter the V-groove without getting bent.
