update - solved by @fskornia - it's a "presser foot screw".. ha!

fellow sewing machine nerds: i am resurrecting a Pfaff Select 1546 from the dead - a thrifting find last week. after 20+ hours of repair work, the machine is nearly done.

i have one last job: i bought a replacement presser foot attach/release assembly. it's supposed to screw into the top feed as shown, unfortunately the assembly didn't come with the screw! (pic 2, shown in red)

can anyone help me identify the screw? i couldn't find it in either the user or service manuals, and web searches are only showing screws for other machines. it would help to know even what the screw is called at this location.

@vga256 I did some hunting around, and I'm pretty sure you're looking for what they call the Presser Foot Screw.
I found this:
https://shop.archaicarcane.com/product/pfaff-presser-foot-screw/

and this:
https://allsewingmachineparts.com/products/screw-presser-foot-holder-2-0-3-0-4-0-413040401

Both with different part numbers.

@fskornia Thank you so much frank! that's exactly what it is - and you even found the matching one for this model. I really appreciate it.

@vga256 No problem :-) It's lovely to see an old machine returning to life. I just figured out the problem with the foot pedal of my mother's old Singer 6110. I think I still need to rework the upper tension a little bit, but it is mostly sewing beautifully again.

@fskornia i'm excited to see what this little beast can do. i've never touched a sewing machine in my life, but the second i saw it in the shop for $30 i knew it was going to be fun to work on
