I am so happy that I don't need to find new class 66 bobbins. I bought a lot of 35 original metal bobbins on Ebay a few years ago. I have 4 machines that use this type of bobbin.
Wow, you must have got a particularly lousy batch. In all the ones I've got I've only got a couple that have loose rims. Other than that they are useable.
I have had more trouble from Class 15 bobbins than the 66s.
