Mercury found at yard sale
1 Attachment(s)
Mercury found at yard sale for $10.00. Is this machine areal clone? Mercury numbered EA480552 is marked Japan and looks a lot like aclone. The wheel shaft is not the size of Singer wheels and Singer needle clampdoes not fit. Where can I find any information on this machine? My limitedinternet skills have not had any success.

It looks like a 99 clone but it is hard to see much. How heavy is that?

I like those lightning bolts on the decals. Neat!
It looks like a 99 to me, too. |
Ken,
It's a copy of the early Singer 99. Not sure were to get parts other than to check all sources. Joe |

Thanks for giving me something new to explore. |
Is it aluminum? The Bel Air Bantam is an aluminum 99 clone. I'm wondering if this is the same. Either way it was $10 well spent.

Just another thought on that box the Mercury is in. If you go to the website of Zorba The veiled Male , you can see him rebuilding a sewing machine box and covering it with that same snakeskin looking fabric, purchased from a place that sells handles, coverings, hardware for musicians and their gear. From reading on his site, I wonder if this box the Mercury is in is a re-covered one.
