Jillnjo here is another site you might want to look at.

Just reading this site, your machine must be a 1970's? model. It says models 1020 thru 1980 (there were 68 models) were made in the 1970's. That would put your model 1516 right in the middle!
I'd do a search of the model number and parts available.
Can you post a picture? Maybe, someone will recognize the machine by the picture?
