Any discussion about a 99K in there somewhere?
I hate to ask questions that have been asnwered but all those pages to go through....ugh.
I just bought a cutie (1954 99K) and don't like how the motor sounds. It needs a belt and a good cleaning too. Restoring it might be above my skill level. Maybe I need to find a shop. Are they hard to work on?
I work on them all of the time and in fact I just finished up a 99K for one of our member not long ago. They are simple to play with and are just baby versions of the 66 but with a couple of differences. If you do not feel like messing with it I can do it for you but I have tutorials on how to clean one in here somewhere. Just look under the VSMS virtual forum and you will see them. If you want to ask anything just PM me and I can walk you through it.

Thanks Billy!
I'll check out the tutes....
Is it true what Chris_Quilts said about it being noisy? It would be nice to have it be a quiet little one like my FW.
I put all of my machines on a non-slip placemat, it's the same stuff used as shelf liner only thicker and cut to the shape of a placemat and sells for a few $$$'s. It serves a dual purpose in that it stops a machine sliding around at high speed and makes them quieter (specially embroidery machines running at full throttle on a multi-hour design) LOL
Of course, the other reason your machine might be noisy is because it needs oiling, this shouldn't be overlooked either.
Hope this helps?
