My Singer 99 works!!!
My dh rewired "Grace" today and her motor and all her parts are moving and working!!! I can't get over how quiet she runs!!
He is going to build me a little box for her to set on and then I can actually sew something with her. I really don't want her in a cabinet. I wish I had the original box she came in back in 1928 but I am so happy to own her!

I'm so glad that you have her working. I also have one from 1928 and it is a 99-13 with the knee bar. It is too bad you couldn't get the case for her. The bentwood cases are so pretty. But she will look great in a base, and if you want, you can make a cover for her. Keep on the look out, you just might be able to find one.

My 99K was built in Scotland in 1950 but it looks like a 99-13. It has no stitch length regulator. What's up with that? How come the manual for the 99's and the 99K's shows a stitch regulator? The serial number is EG038445. I'm confused, apparently it's called the "older series". So I guess I should be looking for stuff on the 99-13 then huh?
