Nancy,
Try those needles I gave you a few weeks ago. German machines of that era frequently take an equivalent to a round shank DBx1.

I got the Adler treadle listed on Craigslist today!

Now my problem is, I don't know what model this treadle is and I have no idea what needle it uses? I pulled up ISMACS needle site, but I still have no idea about needles. It looks like this machine takes something other than a normal 15x1 needle! Darn! I don't have a problem with that, except I need to know what needles to be on the look out for! The pitman on this machine is wood, which tells me this is probably a pre 1900 machine. It is pretty cool looking with back clamping feet and a bobbin like a Wheeler and Wilson's. The machine is complete as far as I can tell - I just need to get some needles! Anyone have an Adler treadle like mine?
