Default Metal cam is for stitch modifier

The last photo shows a metal cam. This came installed on my Kenmore 1760.

The metal cam with the number 20 stamped on it is the "permanent" cam for the 158 series that lets you use the stitch modifier. Without this cam, you cannot use the modified stitches. I have been trying to find one of these for months because it is missing from the otherwise pristine 158.17600 I bought from a thrift store. Anybody have any leads? Would be much appreciated.
