the needle bar and diaphragm on my New Century are not attached to each other - I took a picture and I don't see a hole in the diaphragm - is there something wrong with this? How are the diaphragm and needle bar usually attached to each other? Thanks!

I believe they used shellac on these.

I have used a dab of hot melt glue to great effect.

Sean and Zwebie, thanks for your responses - by your responses, I take it that my New Century is a normal New Century
