I know you have quit a collection, so am sre you know that. If you need a few 12x1 needles, let me know. I don't mind sending you a few.
Thanks for the offer, I've got to check my needle collection, I don't recall which one, but the 12x1 is the same as one of the Boye sizes that came in the case.
I laughed when I saw the 66-16 manual, but in this case the seller didn't think that was what they had. I bought a nice white FW at a great deal one time - because it came with a manual for a 66 and the seller, while smart enough to research the value of a 66, wasn't smart enough to realize that the machine in the manual wasn't anything like the one in the case. Well, they did both say "Singer" on them.
It's kind of scarey how often that happens . . .
