I just picked up a Singer 99K made in the UK in 1956. Lots of rust in its innards. No stitch plate. A sock tied around its arm, doubling as decoration and a pin cushion. Otherwise it is pretty good.
I have never played with rusty innards before. After the missing plate arrives (find and order after the new year), the current plan is to see how it sews and go from there.
Any words of wisdom? Thanks.
