My stock needle had the letter "D" on the back on of it. The NP1 had some other lettering on it. So I think that you should be okay. If I'm wrong the worst thing that can happen is you return it. Hope this helps

The needles are in a circular pattern with one in the center. I broke the center needle and was going to replace it but it works even better without the center needle.

It does work in the southern hemisphere; the only difference is in the Northern Hemisphere the red part of the needle points North. When you are in the Southern Hemisphere you would use the other end of the needle to guide you. Please reply when you get this message.

I ordered a replacement needle when i originally bought the item (ordered online). You should be able to go back online and order a replacement. (I think i got mine from sears).

Hello,Yes there are adjustments for throttle blade opening, didn't see one for needle position. It is easier to buy this than locate a rebuild kit for the old one. New one fits and works perfectly.

I believe that is what mine called for and it worked great. Be careful removing the old needle as the snaps that hold it on our easily broken. Best of luck and happy listening!

I think the needles are just you average size ones. But I sent my machine back because it didn't work when I got it.

Mine did not, though this is a really good pump and worth it to pick up the needle seperately.

I don't know since I only use it with the spacers. If you are not using the spacers, you can just inject. The spacers hide the needle.

I don't believe this model allows changing of the needle. Google the name,model,and needle issue...you might get some results. I just ordered a new turntable this christmas of better quality that allows for needle changes. I needed to have a specific needle for the 78 rpm's I want to play. Good Luck!John from Duluth,Mn.

Yes they are interchangeable between sets. If you want to try a few of the different needles, they have a starter set with a pair of bamboo tips, short lace tips and turbo tips. It comes with needle tips and cord.

You don't have the needle in correctly.you have to push it in an turn it to lock in place.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I believe most needles now are universal, for most sewing machines.

I couldn't get mine to take air either, and discovered that the needle's open end was flush against the opposite inside. When I pulled the needle back a bit it took air much easier.

This looks like the bobbin in my machine. I do not have any trouble with uneven stitching or loops in the bobbin thread after it gets started. However I have had to order several new bobbin cases as the needle does puncture the plastic if it gets out of sinc.

Hi, this machine doesn't have this feature, but, frankly, it doesn't seem so important (at least for me). When I want my needle to be down, I just lower it manually - it's very easy and precise. It was my first sewing machine too and, after sewing on it for the last 2 years I would still recommend it as the first machine.
