The original needles are unique and no longer made. I worked on a machine that all the info said it took a unique needle, but I found needle tips when cleaning and decided to try a 15x1, which worked. I don't know if it had been retimed in its lifetime or it was originally made that way. Did it have a needle in it? Some have ground 15x1s to work. https://myperfectstitch.blogspot.com...r-classic.html
