There is manufacturer's email address at the end of the instruction manual: http://www.supsew.com/KnowledgeBaseArtefacts/Documents/Highlead/GC22618%20instruction%20manual%20&%20parts%20catalog.pdf

They should be able to answer your question.

I once found a handy bobbin reference chart (See attached file)

Comparing your bobbin's measurements to the chart should allow to determine which bobbin style to order.

At least the manual tells you the take-up lever stroke with 1/10th millimeter precision, lol, which seems like super useless info compared to bobbin size.

Some thread suppliers also have a bobbin reference. The Thread Exchange has a bobbin reference chart for pre-wound bobbins - the dimensions should be very close to the real bobbins.

Here's the bobbin style chart which you can print to scale and then just lay your bobbin on it to find your bobbin style:

Same bobbin as 111W155, Consew 227R, Seiko CW-8B.

Common bobbin for many various single and double needle lockstitch industrial, also known as a prewound bobbin "G"
