Thank you all for all your support, I was feeling pretty miserable about it which tells you how much I love vintage machines!
I found my little 99k at my favorite thrift shop back in the day when I didn't know any better. It just needs a case. It's the same shop I found my featherweight in for 27.00. I also recently found my 301a in the cabinet with instruction book and original attachments for 49 dollars. Not too bad!
Thank you ladyinpurple - I'm going to contact Richard Neff about a carrying case for my 99K!
