Singer 7-10 needles

[DanF]

Last week I became the owner of a Singer 7-10. Complete with table, motor, bobbins and shuttles. 

Just no space atm to put it al up. And no idea if the motor works. Hope to get that done soon.

Only in the manuals I can only find that the 7-10 uses Singer 7-18 needles. I cannot find any needles of modern types for it can someone help me out? 

I did get some Schmetz 794 nm 250 needles with it. But also some 66k shuttles and bobbins so not sure if that will work too.

I once owned a 7-10 IIRC I have used 794 needles. However - have you tried them? Even if it is not set up for 794 needles you can adjust the needle bar height to make them work.

Thanks! I will give it a go with the 794. With some luck its set up with that as the owner bought it years ago from the army of navy but never used it  

And yes I was surprised about the 66 stuff so I was not so sure about the needles :D
