Does it require a special needle?
Thanks for the help. I know someone on here will have the answers for me.

15x1 needles and class 66 bobbins for the little green fellow! It came originally in a green plastic case but it must have fallen apart and they set it in a bentwood case instead. The original cases for them are hard to come by because the plastics they used back then were not up to the same standards as they are today. You should see some of my model kits from the 60's that I built when I was a kid in the 80's the bodies are sagging because of the age!
