Questions for someone: While cleaning my older Singer with shuttle bobbin, the front slide comes off, but the back one seems fixed. I remember Charlee saying the front one gets lost easily, so does the back one not come off at all? Also there's a small hole under the slide, it was full of lint or something. Was it one of the wicking oil spots? I don't have a manual on this one. Thanks for any help.

Etchasketch, you posted a fiddle base model 15 in the photo section that you said dates 1885. I have been doing some research, and I found there was a Model 15 made in 1879 that was a long beak shuttle with a spoked hand wheel. Is your 15 a shuttle? I would love to see that machine in person as I have never seen a Model 15 fiddle base! I can't find a reference to a 15 fiddle base! So interesting!
Who was it asking about when did the 99 become electrified? As far as I can find out, the first electric 99 was the 99-13 which was manufactured starting in 1924. Nancy |

Nancy; I have one of those that I won at an auction. I was bidding against a guy who buys and then resells machines so I paid about $300. DH was with me and kept urging me to go higher so I did. His name is Fritz and he is a workhorse. I hope this helps.

Wow Chris can you post a photo! I think that Bernina is a really neat looking machine - it looks like a work horse! I have so many Singers that now I am more interested in the odd looking, different type machines! I wouldn't pay $500 for any vintage machine, though! But, I do really like the way it looks!

The Singer 15 fiddlebase (15-1, I think) is usually referred to as the IF, for Improved Family. (The New Family was the Singer 12.) pat |
