you spin me right round
i finally got the wheel assembled last night. i got stumped at the flyer and bobbin step. there's some weird knobbies on the flyer holder thingy that have fishing line tied to them.. which i can only assume is for some sort of tension? i don't know. i need better instructions. the ones that the auction lady sent me are from 1900 and they're for a slightly different (and older) model.
i'll post pics of my trials and errors. as long as they're pg-13.

The knob is attached to fishing line, run through one hook on the mother of all (the holder thingy) and then over to the other side right? If so (or something similar to my explanation) it's probably the scotch tension. If it's a single drive wheel, you'll have to use the scotch tension by running the fishing line over the groove in the bobbin, and tightening it to your desired tension. If it's a double drive wheel with a scotch tension option, then it won't necessarily be needed unless you decide you like scotch tension better. HTH. I just got my first wheel too. They are so much fun.
