recently bought a crescent special treadle sewing machine

nelson, New Zealand

Hi everyone, I live in New Zealand and have recently bought a crescent special treadle. It was pretty gummed up and dusty but I nearly have it working fine except the tension spring appears to be broken off a bit so the top thread pops out of the assembly when sewing. Does anybody know anything about these machines? There is such a lot of information on singers and other brands but so far I have not been able to find anything on crescent apart from being manufactured by Johnson, Flanders & Co. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks Julia.
