Does it have markings from where it was made on the bottom? It may be that a 15 clone needle holder will work on that machine. Is it the correct bobbin? Sometimes strays make their way in a machine, then people wonder why the machine doesn't work. On the other hand it could be some other bobbin - there is an L type that is very common. Clones are a loose term for a copy of a Singer machine I guess you could say. As far as the wheel. I have a wonderful old machine that is a Singer copy... turns so sweet and sews nice but no motor. I thought about a HC but no motor mount - then I thought about treadle - a Singer hand wheel slides on the shaft but it won't accept the clutch knob or clutch part - the Singer hand wheel needs some ground off the side toward the machine and maybe it would treadle. It would be a super treadle though - turns better than anything.
