Note, after looking at the comprehensive Singer dating list, this machine is from 1916 from a a batch of 20,000 out of Scotland, so its a 99k.
Another cool thing about the cabinets is the lock. I just happened to have a 4 sided antique key that fits it perfectly. So I can lock the top on too.
I need to get a proper screw for my hand crank to work and some playing around with the tension which sounds like a common problem with these guys. Top tension seems to tight even on the loosest setting. I'm guessing a good clean is order for those tension disks and post.
