Called a CL ad for 2 machine heads for $10 and one looked like a Singer 27. The part I need is not the same on the 27 as the 127 so that part didn't work out.
The other machine is a Singer 66. Both are frozen and all the plated parts are rusted. But the decals on the 66 Redeye are very nice.
since I am going to try and get at least the 66 sewing again, they gave them both to me for FREE!!!
Oh well, more machines to clean and practice on.

I ran around barefoot and only wore shoes to church too. My mom didn't have a green thumb for gardening in the woods, but she did let mother nature grow the prettiest Jack-in-the-pulpits, May Apples, Tulip Poplar trees, and other indigenous plants. I would build forts out of fallen tree branches in the spring and summer, and snow forts in the winter. I would jump into a huge pile of leaves that most likely had a ton of bugs and dirt, but that never mattered. Stayed up to catch lightning bugs, and tried to helped the birds that had fallen out the trees. And read lots of Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew books when older. Yup, the Norman Rockwell life! Wonderful memories!
Heehee, I have homeschooled my children too. My oldest is off at college, and my youngest is just starting high school.

actually went trick or treating in the whole town,
Miriam, it sounds like you had a wonderful life. As children we also went trick or treating in the whole town. We even went into the bars. The customers would give us money, hit the grocery stores and the local Froster Freeze and got frosties. Life was so much simpler then. Kathie

Miriam,
Everything starts to itch because of "histamines" in our blood...blood travels thru out our bodies therefore the itch all over... especially where the outbreak is. You need an internal as well as an external soulution. Benadryl (capsules) and Benadryl spray will help. Both are "antihistamines". Bathe not shower in an oatmeal bath..available at drugstores. then apply the Benadryl spray after. Wear very loose clothing. If this doesn't help. see the doctor. This can very easily turn into a skin infection. Hope it helps. I know from experience. Anne

Picked up this 99K last week at a thrift store. Missing the bobbin cover plate. Came with a feed dog cover plate and 4 bobbins.

Need the experts here. I've notice that some machines have a special fitting or nut that holds the spool spindle while others are press fit into the machine. Mine 99K has the special nut.
