What a find! I love to see these old machines finding homes where they will be put to work. It's too bad sewing machines are not so well made anymore. I love my Bernina, but I doubt if it will be still going strong in 50 years.

THis machine takes a 206x13 needle. Swing needle. They are shorter than most regular needles. I would like size 14. Anyone know where to get them? AllBrands has them, but they are on backorder, and that is for 100 needles/$49.
One site wanted $10 to ship 5 or 10 needles...
Any suggestions of places you get hard to find needles?

The foot control is easy to take out and put on the floor. If it's like my old Singer it's a foot control slipped into a slot underneath the cabinet. I like the knee control much better then the floor. Only thing is if you are use to using a machine with auto knee lift, things can get interesting. :D

I really do like the knee control. I'd never tried one like that before.

I use to have a button foot pedal on my Kenmore and asked at a local machine repair shop...cause the button would stick...and they looked it up in the parts book and found a newer style and it works great. At least the machine doesn't sew my itself any more....thought it was hexed.
