Hi, I have an old Elna Supermatic. It was fully serviced then put into storage for a bit, now I have set it up again the Flywheel isn't tightening in order to run properly. When I hold the large outer wheel and turn the smaller wheel away from me, it just keeps turning continuously, not tightening and stopping. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I think that the name " SuperMatic " was used for a few different models <?> mid 1950's - 60's.
But - in general - the machine screw - in the smaller locking wheel - needs to engage the wings on the locking washer, in behind - to force pressure on the larger flywheel
