Regarding the bobbin and shuttle, ebay, etsy, or some similar site is your best bet. I had the same machine, no shuttle or bobbins, and spent 4x the cost of the machine tracking down a shuttle. I actually ended up using Jared's pictures of the shuttle from this very post when communicating with an ebay seller to make sure I was getting the correct part. I ended up using bobbins for a Singer 127.
