It's only got a .5 AMP motor, so it's a tank but not what I'd consider industrial either...though you know sellers love a good tale:>
Miriam, you made sure to adjust the stitch width and turn on the zig zag lever and still no go?

I just found motor info in an old repair manual. http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/15-91.pdf
The motors are an awful lot alike. I think Bennett posted recently some links on the Vintage Sewing Machine Shop

Are you sure thats's a 206 x 13 needle, Miriam? Your photo is a bit blurry, but it may not be. Lots of people stuck regular needles in these. Check your bobbin case. If it's all nicked up, chances are that's not the correct needle. Or at least it's really dull probably needs replacing anyway. I order mine online.
