I'm thinking the same thing...might as well stock up on a few things since I know they have a minimum order. And it's not like this is the last old machine I'll be buying that'll need a new tire so might as well grab a few. I could use a couple belts for 99's too...
I haven't checked anywhere local, I just assumed nobody around here would carry bobbin tires for machines from 1899. But maybe I should check a couple of the local shops just to see...just wish I could get the current one off even partially intact for comparison but it just falls apart in my hand when I press on it. I suppose I could cut it, that might let me slip off enough of it...hmmm.
