Congratulations!!! I would love to have one of those!! I can't offer you any help about the needles but there are several members of this forum who have the two-spools machines and they will probably be able to help you. Welcome to the forum, BTW!

HI! I own a National Two Spools.
The Two Spools uses the standard needles;so, no need to hunt down a special one.
Please post a photo of your machine. Folks here in the Vintage Machine Shop love to see each others vintage machines. Here is the link to the photo page: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...t130994-9.html
And here is the link to the Shop's discussion thread:http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...ml#post4641284
There are a couple of us on the Vintage Machine Shop thread that own Two Spools and use them.

The standard needle that is used in the modern machines, a 15x1, that can be purchased at a JoAnn's or other fabric sewing center stores.
