I think I'm looking for a needle in a haystack.

Extreme comparison here..
but to me, I guess it would be like having a young violinist learn on a Stradivarius instead of a beginner model.
This machine is 78 years old and although cast iron, is not indestructible.:)

The 24x3 is definitely obsolete and has not been available anywhere for many years.
I checked the singersewinginfo site and there is a special page explaining all about the 24x3 needles at http://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/toys/24x3/
I think it will answer all your questions and it even tells you how to use a subsitute!
I tried it and it worked perfectly on my little Sewhandy 40K.

Here are the 24 X 1 needles that apparently will also fit your machine........

I was just at Castle Sewing in Surrey BC Canada and found these needles for my old Singer 40K hand crank. http://www.castlesewing.com/ I was thrilled to find them as my grandma (who recently passed away) had taught to sew on this machine and I hadn't been able to find needles for it for years. It certainly brought back great memories
