That looks like a different machine, nice work! Isn't it just so satisfying to accomplish this? You did good.

Wow!! That's a super restoration given what you started with. Yes, the lost part will turn up when you're not looking and after you've purchased a new one.

Great job - when those machines are cleaned up, they're almost like a work of art.

I just saw a circular, back, plate on Ebay just in case you might want to replace yours. Nice job. The slide plate is still available. I believe Sew.Classic.com may have some. the folks here are experienced with 27s and can advise on the bobbin. Ask Macybaby.

Ah, you mean the etched plate that hangs on the back of the machine? Yeah, mine didn't survive the rust very well, it's really rough now. It was one of the first things I worked on, so I didn't know how the machine would turn out, but now I think it would be worth replacing it with a pretty one. I must get some more bobbins, too - I've got just the one that was inside the shuttle.

You can buy a telescoping rod at Harbor Freight (or probably any hardware store) with a magnet on the end - some even have an LED light - you could try running that around on your floor to try to find the presser foot. I've picked up a lot of pins that way!
