Joe,

Thank you for the testing. I guess the only way to know for sure whether or not everything is interchangeable is to try.
I'll see if I can do that next weekend when I get back home.

I tried the FW bobbins in the 120-491 and they fit but were just a bit thinner in the case.
I don't doubt they'd interchange, but considering the extra thickness of the non FW bobbins you might run into tolerance problems on some machines.
