Hi guys. This is my 1st post. I'm from the UK. I mostly sew outdoor gear in heavy codura or somilar. (I'm not a Thread Insertion Technician). This forum seems to be the closest rewarding sewing machines.
I'm looking for advise on parts required (&source), or internal adjustments to be made to taken out play on the inner walking fit. When it is under compression it can shift sideways or rotate axialy. A 1mm (maybe 1/32") sideways . (Pictured below), This is with about with with several layer of canvas and or webbing..
is this machine repairable?
Possible worn parts included...

508281. vibrating presser bar with bell crank, (visible wear).
508295 Needle bar rock frame. Hopefully not needed
The bushing linkage on the presser bar are also worn. Which is more accessible. Hence the rotation.
The oil felt on the rocket bar frame has mostly disintegrated which may have caused excess wear.
I have approached a few suppliers and have BD told it's discontinued (no suprise) and not available.
Pictured (sorry I can't manage the picture order)
