Ok, it is Sunday afternoon in your part of the world.
Do you have it?

Siodach

Yep!!

A 6 hour drive home turned into 7 due to a detour to claim the machine lol. Just got home half an hour ago, so haven't unpacked it yet.

DH, never shy, talked the price down even further by pointing out the missing bits and the bits not moving when they should, so the staff reclassified it as "faulty" and dropped the price lol. Definitely a bargain now !

Now to hunt out a manual online and watch some of those you tube videos on maintenance.

Oddly enough, I do have an original Singer instruction book, which belonged to MIL, but it's for a 15K80.

I'm surprisingly excited about this project.....

Kate, tired but happy....

Big Smile for you. I'm glad you were able to get it and letting us know. I don't think it will be too hard to get the pieces you need. Online manuals can be found at http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals just type in "99" (without the quotes). There are actually three manuals that INCLUDE the 99, but looks like they are for electric machines. The machine is just powered differently for yours - it is the same machine. On page 14 of this manual http://www.singerco.com/uploads/down...2c142a66d9.pdf shows how to install the bobbin cover. Have fun. Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Congratulations! Keep us posted on your progress. I hope it cleans up nicely and will be up and running soon. Enjoy the process!

thank you for these links, I've downloaded them already .

I'm planning to take loads of before and after photos of the clean-up process, so I can guarantee you'll all be very bored of this before its finished .
