Do you know of any suppliers regarding the 206 -13 needles?

Here's a couple sources:
{ http://www.shop.sew-classic.com/ }
{ http://www.allbrands.com/productsear...r_by=relevance }

If you'll Google sewing machine needles and or Singer 206x13 you should find a few more.

I have had that happen to me. I then figured that someone else got to the machine before I did and the person listing the machine forgot to take down the post.

I'm only interested in machines that take 15x1 needles since I use the machines, and I don't feel like hunting for the correct needles. But, that machine is way cool looking with its keys! I believe Nancy has a machine like that, which she has used. If you do get that machine and run into problems with the machine, Nancy or Cathy can help you. I wish you luck on getting the machine.

I had the same thing happened with a freebie on the KC craigslist awhile back, I chalked it up to a scam. Sad days.

Yeah, me too, with the CL ads that don't have a phone number listed. I watched one for three or four days recently, then finally gave up; and now my daughter says she thinks my computer has been hacked. Buyer beware. Or interested buyer beware.....
