I don´t think you can get the OEM wheels anymore (well maybe... you never know). If I were you I would probably take a wheel from a different bobbin winder then wrap a piece of leather or PU flat belt around it and adapt it to the spindle. Spindle is present I guess?

Other than that I would buy a table mount bobbin winder

But it may need some modification as well.

Thought I may just get a old cast pulley wheel and find a spindle from some of my old metal bar from vintage machines I had, and either rubber or leather in the gap of the pulley, I have do have some old cast table bobbin winder,

I never was lucky enough to have a metal lathe , It would of been useful ,in my tinkering with machines
