I'm ok with using the proper needles - I prefer to keep the machine as original as possible so I'd rather not modify my bobbin case since I can still buy the 206x13's. In limited sizes, it seems, but that's OK - I don't really use a lot of specialty needles and I have 15 other machines I can use if I need to.
Yes I did. Now I see that the serial number begins with W too. Sorry about that.

You can also buy new "15x1 ready" BCs if you don't want to modify yours.

EDIT: Bit more information here. They say "1911-" (not very useful) and that it was made in Bridgeport, Connecticut (bit more useful).
