Hello Terri,
I am sorry but I really do not know of anyone who has parts of these little machines. But you may want to try to contact someone at this collector group:
http://toystitchers.tripod.com/
I do have the threading instructions for the machine if you need those. Send an email to me at:
xtahoeviews@yahoo.com and put Betsy Ross threading instructions in the subject.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
