In fact, the machine has been so well maintained. I have replaced the needle with another flat sided needle and tried to sew with it and it sews perfectly. The machine came with a broken needle and when I removed it, it was flat on one side. Reason being, I only ever heard of the Jones machine here on quilting board and assumed (incorrectly) that it was an American brand. By the way, I meant 'America' and not 'Germany' in my previous post! Must have been rather distracted by the mention of 'Germany' in Charlee's message. Yes, the papers do give everything away! As mentioned, I am an absolute novice at old machines. I am truly shocked that you thought they were made in Germany.
Has this machine got a standard flat sided needle? I always steer clear of the earlier Jones machines because they take a round headed needle and aren't worth the bother if you want to use it. I can't find any pictures of one like yours.
Great laughter here- if you hadn't already told me where you live, the newspaper gives it away!
