Mystery "Model 208" Double Needle Machine - Any Ideas???

Recommended Posts

So far I've been unable to identify this double needle industrial machine.  It says model 208 on the front.  The only other markings are an apparent serial # C-680227.  It's a needle feed machine, and is brown in color.  There is a selector clutch on the left of the head to choose one needle vs. two.  Some construction details look similar to older Adler machines.  Maybe a clone of another machine?  Any thoughts?  I'm mostly looking for information regarding what needle class it takes, and to confirm the thread path.   

Thanks!

The reverse lever is small, and the stitch length adjustment knob is quite low.

This is a high speed textile machine, useless for leather work.

Yeah, I took it on trade.  I'm not planning on keeping it, I'm just trying to identify the make.  

Underside of slide plates say Simanco, but they could be aftermarket too.

It does look Singer'ish to me, especially the cover of the bulge on the casting and the flywheel.

Look at Nakajima. I have a single needle feed that looks exactly as pic'd.
