Joe, I am 90% sure I will be removing the broken portion, cleaning the edge to bare metal (without "dulling it" is the challenge) and the doing JB weld on the seam (Red line). Once set (3-5 days to be sure) then I will apply a couple of small patches of material (Gray) across the bottom (most likely steel) that will also be JB welded into place as a brace.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]516858[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]516859[/ATTACH]I picked this up yesterday, is this the entire bobbin case and what size bobbin does it take? The poor thing was on the floor in the back of antique store.

Thanks, I agree 100% I even passed up on a featherweight with case for $200 at the local swap meet. It just seemed so "wimpy" when comparing to the D9

Helen Ann - I saw your post while I was at work and couldn't go look at my machine - then forgot about it when I got home.
I was hoping SteveH might have answered - but it looks like he got distracted too.
It looks like yours has everything, though the three I have are a bit different, so not sure there. There is no bobbin case, that little "finger" pulls forward and the bobbin slips on it, and then the finger clips back in place to hold it there. It's a unique looking bobbin, sort of "donut shaped"
I did a quick search on eBay to find a picture - so have no comment on the seller or price - only to show what they look like.
