Dh found another number also A107-3

I have one of these machines labeled as distributed by Necchi-Elna. Mine is a green straight-stitcher, and I believe it was made in the early 60s. My friend's ex-husband gave it to her for her birthday one year. I got it in the divorce--I'm pretty sure she didn't want to look at anything that reminded her of him!!
Do you happen to know what size needles it takes. I am having a really hard time finding information about it. I am waiting to hear from a site that might have a manual.
Thanks, it's seems to be a really "sweet" machine.
