Bernina 217N-08 Slide plate missing

[Scarolamade]

Hey everyone, so stumbled across a great deal today! Got 3 machines for a steal!  Juki 1541,  Consew 206 RB-5 and lastly Bernina 217N-08 . All in great shape except for a couple missing parts. Missing bobbin case on the Consew (easy to find replacements) but I’m missing a bobbin case and Left slide plate on the Bernina.  Are there any other machines that share the same slide plate?

Has the machine a drawer? Maybe it´s in there. But they are still available new f.i. (UK dealer)

Or take some measures and post them maybe we can compare something or check ebay cause the Chinese parts dealers of put the measure in their pictures.

I found this parts book for 217 Machines on the Artisan Sewing Machines website so I´d say Artisan is probably a source for the plate. I their parts book the slide plate has the same number.

Thank you for all the information. I will reach out to them. The size is 74.5mm x 49mm

 I was able to cut one out of some rowmark acrylic on my laser but need to figure out how to replicated the pressure springs that are on the back of the original part.
