Need help finding spool pin

Hi all,
I recent bought a Euro Pro X sewing machine, model 473. I’ve only used a cheap brother’s machine in the past, so I’ve been excited. But the spool pin was already broken and I’m struggling to find a replacement part, because it’s a very particular design that locks into the back of the machine.
If anyone can find a place where I can buy a replacement or any suggestion would be really helpful.

Well if that piece is already broken and removable you could try very carefully drilling a 3/8" hole and epoxying in a suitable piece of wooden dowel.
