I'm guessing that the shuttles and bobbins for the Davis made machines are unique and not able to be replaced by Singer long shuttles and bobbins.

Hi Janey,
I've seen Minnesota S that were Davis M_E, Davis H, and a unique head that I call model Minnesota S which was only made for Sears that I know of. All of these use full sized Davis shuttle and bobbins. Zombiedad has the unique Minnesota S model. According to Ismacs needle list it uses Davis long needle, aka Boye 10 usually. The Singer shuttle won't work as the race radius is way different. Pre wound Singer bobbins can be made to work but Davis bobbins are about 1/4" longer.
