Repairing an Elna Supermatic?

We had to remove the bobbin spindle from the winder because a bobbin got stuck. When we put it back in, the winder won't turn. The plastic disc is in place. The spring is working, but there's nothing to turn the spindle. What needs to be attached there for it to work?

Since we cannot 'see' your bobbin problem it is difficult to know if we're addressing your question correctly but maybe some of the guides presented will help you find a fix.
The most important thing to remember is that it is very easy to insert a bobbin incorrectly so be sure to start with that.
Instructions from manual:
"Check to see if your bobbin is right-side up. It is possible to put the bobbin in upside down. To fix this minor issue just take the bobbin out and put it in the right side up.

How do you tell if the bobbin is upside down? If you see only 2 little holes on the bobbin then you have it in backward. The top of the Elna bobbin has many little holes in it."

If that is not the problem then hopefully you'll find something useful on one of these sites;
