Sounds like the motor might be having problems. I would take it in for a proper servicing.

Ok, I am assuming that you have an old style machine where the hand hand wheel has the larger balance wheel on the outside and inner knob to release the drive to the needle and feed dogs. If that has been removed and not put back together properly it won't work.

There is a special locking washer inside those that have "fingers" pointing to the inside of the circle. They must be fit into the shaft correctly before the knob is returned into place and the little screw is tightened down.

This guy is a bit of a windbag but watch his video... you'll at least see the part I'm talking about. He shows the part at about 9:50 in the video.

since the machine has been setting for 20 years, it needs to be serviced
the old grease & oil have probably turned the gunk. the servicing can also tell if any parts are damaged

On the side of the 'knob', look for another wheel that tightens against that, so it engages, that's what it sounds like. When that second wheel is loose, it won't run, it just spins. From the photo I can find of the unit, it looks like that second wheel is below it, but I can't be certain. Let me know how you make out. Please rate and comment, thank you,
Joe

No......CHANGE the needle,,,,it will damage your fabric!!
GET IT SERVICED....It needs retiming by the sound of things

The needle on my sewing machine won't move. The pedal makes a noise but nothing happens. The hand wheel doesn't turn either. Please help this is the first time I have tried to use it and disaster

I had that problem too! I usually turn the tension knob and it works,
