This is so pitiful
I was trolling CL and came across the post for this machine, price $15, it is on the junk yard truck to be disposed of on Monday. I looked at it and thought there might be some salvageable parts there. I called the guy and talked to him about trading some of my DH recycle junk for this old sewing machine since he was taking it to the recycle center anyway. He said that would be great. So we took him some old metal that needed to be recycled and he gave me this sewing machine. I have been able to salvage the face plate, part of needle plate cover, tension parts, bobbin winder part, machine foot and several screw. I don't know if the motor is salvageable or not. The foot pedal is rather unique. This was a Singer 99 mfg'd about June of 1927. The base was damaged but I am pretty sure it can be repaired. Someone had cut a small piece out of the dome shaped case. I can't imagine why anyone would do this or what purpose it may have served. This machine would be a great one for someone who totally wanted to take a machine down to the bare metal and repaint. I don't want to do that so it will probably go back to the recycle gentleman when we get all of the parts off that we can salvage.
