If the seller doesn't have the parts, Sew-Classic does and they are easy to install.

Check the head to see weather it's iron or aluminum. If it's aluminum it makes a really dandy take along machine. Mine is a SEWMOR aluminum version and in it's case with all it's accessories weighs less than a complete FeatherWeight.

she is cast iron. But still not too heavy. Yay, nice to hear the positive comments! I actually misspoke in my OP. I meant Hand Crank. But maybe I should fix up the electrical. Happy to hear I can get the wiring block, etc. I thought I might be able to. I am not having high hopes that the guy will find any of the missing parts...he listed it as running great, lol! No way could he have run it or used it in its current condition. But I only paid $5 so figure can afford to put a bit into her. Do you think a slide plate for a 99 will work on this machine? I assume a 99 case will. I measured and they are pretty much identical.
