This ad I won. Was shipped USPS, but I'm guessing uninsured...

I think finding a handcrank setup ( has 2 horiz bolt holes, not centered on pillar) or another motor, is highly unlikely. I toyed with machining another endcap out of brass, but there's damage to the main housing also. Luckily the shuttle and bobbin didn't excape out the hole in the box with a few other little bits that are missing.
Any opinions on whether I should try return for refund, or just keep it and write it off to experience?
Thanks!
