If it works out, then I need to figure out how to get it home... I doubt it will fit in my Geo Metro!
What kind of needles?
It does take bobbins designed for White rotary machines (as opposed to a shuttle). I've found replacements on several sites that should work.
One thing about the White treadles I didn't figure out until messing with mine is that there is a release lever/button on the front bed to unhook it from the cabinet and lift it forward/back to expose the bottom and the hinge screws. Very helpful if you are taking the machine out and stuffing parts into a small car. :)
