There are several needle charts at www.ismacs.net I think.

The needles is about 1 7/8" long.
Here is the ISMACS needle chart I have been looking for! Still can't find any information on my New Home T No 3 needle size! Darn!

It may be worth mentioning that I have a machine with a European power source, since she purchased it in England. She used to have my Granddad open things up for her and oil them, but unfortunately he recently passed.

Oh, what a fun thread! I just inherited this old Singer form my husband's aunt, but haven't actually tried it out yet.

I used to have vintage Singers and an Elna, but sold them when I moved, and up until now only had a modern Janome.

I didn't find any kerosene in the house when I was going to clean an old machine, but got to thinking that I had lamp oil, so I looked it up on line, and it is refined kerosene. I tried it carefully on one spot and it loosened up the old dried oil, so I did the rest of the parts with it! Saved me a trip to town!. I have the lamp oil for a lantern in case the power goes out.

You will need a 206x13 needle and it uses fashion disks. The 319W machines had a short production time, 1955-1957 and were made at the old Wheeler and Wilson facility. Cool looking machine to use in a treadle. Sorry can't help you on which bobbin case is used.
