Default New Home Light Running bobbins?

I have the opportunity to pick up a New Home Light Running machine (the bronze-y green one with the greyhounds)-it would fit right into my herd of friction drives. The kicker is that it has no bobbins, and I'm can't figure out what kind of bobbins it takes. Can anybody hook me up with a source, a link or even a picture of one?

I'd love to help, but I have the same machine...I have no bobbin OR case. I'll keep watching to see what you find out.

I'll be watching this thread as I have a New Home 8000 and bobbins to go with it. I was trying to sell it but life got in the way and now it is in a closet.

Default Light Running SM Bobbin case and Bobbin

Here are the pictures. The bobbin itself is 1/4" wide and the diameter is 7/8".

Thank you so much, Caroline, I appreciate it! It almost looks like a FW bobbin. You don't happen to have a source, do you?
