it's a 306 - it takes SPECIAL NEEDLES... do NOT use regular machine needles, they are too long and will damage the bobbin case.
good news, you can get needles at:

one order will last you the rest of your natural life...
I have a 306 and a 319 = mechanical stitches - no motherboard to go blooey..
I've been using the 319 for piecing... I love them both

Congrats on the 'find'. Read up on how to clean up that machine and get her oiled and greased in the proper areas.
Hopefully it'll be a smooth running machine. Check the wires before plugging in to make sure they're not exposed/frayed/dry rotted, etc. Safety first

I have a 306 W Machine they are great , but do take a special needle. It can do other stiches . The black disk is the disk for special stitches . You probablay have the zig zag stitch disk on the machine.
I have another machine ( computerized) but always come back to my good 306W.
You are a lucky , lucky lady!
