Old Singer - need info
#11
Thank you all for all the information about the 99K Singer model and will pass the info along to my daughter. I told them too bad it isn't one of those little Featherweights I keep hearing about on this board - I'd ask to keep it at my home to use it. This 99K machine is very very heavy. Oh well. Thanks again for your help.

It's not quite as petite as a featherweight (3/4 size instead of 1/2 size) but if you ask me it's just as cute. I'm seriously in love with mine and I don't even have it fully functional yet!

the older singer on the left is the one I had asked about getting a maual for. The cord going to the machine from the foot pedal at the machine are frayed. Can I take the motor and the foot pedal off and put the machine in the treadel cabinet on the right ( with the Athena 2000 in it) and make it a treadel again? It needs to be cleaned ,oiled and I will have to find the belt for it. It does run , I tried it before I realized the frayed wires. Thanks for the help and answering my questions. Myra

You could treadle it if you take off the motor and put on a big hand wheel. You can buy belt guard/bobbin winders but finding the screws to hold the replacement BW on is another story. OR you could just find a side winder. BTW it would be a dandy treadle. I have done it a couple times. I borrowed/stole the belt guard screws and belt guard from a very dead clone.
