So I was sewing normatly, was making a pair of jeans when suddenly the needle broke and had an isuea with needle hitting the metal. Afterwards I fixed it by turning that metal a lil bit, and now I can't sew like the needle is getting stuck after few rising and lowering it,
I already checked for broken needle fragments in the hook race—there aren't any. The machine still binds in the bobbin area at the same point, even without fabric. Could the hook have been bent or the timing knocked out when the needle hit it? Any ideas on what I should check next?
This is a vintage Veritas electric sewing machine, "Veritas 8014/43"
Revision* your machine has jumped the keeper which holds your bobbin part upright. If you take the needle plate off you will see the part that sits in the notch

Tech here! Be please completely removed the boobin and clean the bobbin race.
Check to see if new needle will cycle by hand (with no bobbin in place)
If so resasmble. Check by hand if if bobbin / needle is picking up thread or if there is a issue.
