Hi, any suggestions on where to check for more obscure parts for Japanese clones? I am looking for a replacement part for a Morse 4300 Fotomatic. I believe the part is called a feed lifter fork. Mine is broken off. It is on the underside of the machine of course, and connects to one of the shafts and functions to lift the feed dogs. (Right now the feed dogs are down and move back and forth. No up movement at all.)
(I think the machine is a III but feed dog mechanism looks more like a 4400/IV like this one (look at photo that shows the bottom of machine):

I have checked Helen Howes but looks like most of her stuff is Singer. I have written to GUy Baker and to Sew Classic. I have also posted on the VintageJapanSewingMachine Yahoo group (and scoured their photos and conversations) but no replies yet. I thank you for your time!
