Joe,
This is like the machine I just got last week that is missing the siding, bobbin plate. Which one fits this machine? Having trouble finding one. Also need the bobbin carrier. I know, dumb for buying it in this condition, but it was pretty.

Where it will land on this motor would be potentially bad.
