I'm happy for you. Have fun. Does it have a needle decal on the front of the pillar? It looks like there may be a serial number on the bed in the back of the pillar. If it is like my New National, it was hard to read and even taking pictures of it from different angles didn't help. I just didn't notice that the serial number was written on a tag that came with the machine.
Call it intuition, or whatever you want, but I think that machine will probably take CC1221 needles. The eye is shorter to the tip than a 15x1 and I think that a 206x13 is even shorter. I don't know if you will want to try to adjust a 15x1 and then time it, or not. If it was mine, I would read

he needle ran into something on its way down..."
