This machine has a drop in bobbin case.  I ended up taking it apart to find a dropped needle, and then realised that I should have photographed every stage as I have struggled to put it back together again. 

I have an extra piece of wire and I don't know where it goes.  It is used to hold a drop in bobbin case in place, but I don't know how to insert it.  In the picture you can see the piece of wire is sitting on the right of the bobbin case.  I think somehow it gets inserted into that hole and fixes onto the bobbin case from there to stop it wobbling.  Any ideas?

Thank you so much for that.  That image made sense and now I know why it came out as I unscrewed that screw.  I think it is now fixed and stitching well.  There is still a lot of movement in the bobbin area but not really rattling and the stitch looks good.  It was hard to remember what it sounded like before though.
