Yup,.. I read that... also makes it easier to hold the thread when starting a wind.

Unless they're both the wrong bobbins (possible for reasons mentioned above), I don't -think- this is the problem. I've tried both bobbins, both exhibit the same issue. The other person I can get a bobbin from "in town" is 100km away from me. If I do that, I might as well have him service it. And for what it's worth, he's the one who said "sometimes you have to sacrifice the bottom for the top". I'm not sure he'd see it as an issue any longer.
