I found a 99 at a Flea Market for $54.00 in a tan case. I talked my husband into removing the motor and putting on a hand crank (Sew-Classic had the directions and the handcrank - very reasonable). I now have a cute little machine to take with me when I know that electricity may be a bit dicey to find. She is beautiful and after we cleaned her up - put on the crank - (kept the motor in case some one may want to revert it back) and purrs like a kitten. Sews very very straight so one-handed holding is a piece of cake.
