Steve,
What about a Singer 99 Hand crank?

The only ones I have in that category are a 1908 Singer 28 and a 1911 Singer 128. NOT what he needs.
I am NOT looking for a freebie, I am trying to figure out which machine to acquire, that would be the best blend of SMALL, relatively easy to maintain, and not "persnickety" machine. (NOT a featherweight, TOO expensive and I have been told (NO experience) that they are touchy to maintain)
Thanks in advance.
