LOL! I figured something was not right with that number! Congratulations! Kathy, that machine should not need a special needle. A good Schmetz 80 should work just fine, and if it takes the same large round bobbins as my White Rotary, I can give you some of them. I have plenty of bobbins. When you clean that machine remember what Donna Kohler said about not removing the face plate!
Happy cleaning! That old girl will love you for it!
