We have also received machine which were damaged by USPS. They must roll them around. Bbbl wrp is never correct material. They have to be completely immobilized. Nothing can move of they will destroy themselves by their sheer weight. You are protected by Ebay. File a clam a once. Take lots of pictures. This is clearly improper shipping by the seller.

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!
