Sharon, how lucky can you be? Maybe after a few years of this, I'll have that happen. . . But in the mean time, I've got a ton of collecting to do!!

If you want to restore instead of refinishing we will tackle this as need arises to repair a bad spot. This tut will be never ending because there are so many types of repair so will handle this by your questions as they come up. Glenn

Yes it can be made into a hand crank but you need a spoked handwheel off of a 66 or an early 99 to work. I might be getting a few of those in next week. I am looking a lot of machines tomorrow and I will more than likely buy them all and there are a few of the 66's in there with spoked handwheels.

Luv2learn, that is a 99 just like mine! I really am so excited as I was looking for an old Singer, and here I already HAVE one!

The machines are in my other 2 car garage on the side of the house.

This 99 looks nice, but on my wish list I would also very much like to have a model 15 . . . If I could only get one or the other right now, is this such a good buy to not pass up??
Thanx, luv2learn
