Here she is (no name yet) - I was so worried when I carried it in, as I could here it rattling in the box. The carry case was packed in just two layers of carboard (one box inside another, no packing in between). There were a few squares of bubble wrap inside the box, one of which was wrapped around the foot pedal, and that was it. I have had a message now from the seller, and he says he will get me a bobbin case and forward it as soon as he can. I suspect it will be a replacement one, rather than an original, but if it works, then that will do for now. After all, I got this baby for not much more than $350.
