It's in excellent condition from what I can see in my fairly dark garage. When it warms up I'll play with it. The manual says it takes White Rotary needles. Are these special needles? Anyone have this machine?
Just standard 15x1 needles.
If you use the light, be careful reaching under it to flip the presser foot up and down.
I like the large bobbins it uses.
I have one from 1940 and its one of my favorites.
