Featherweight vs. 99
Hi everyone!
I have been wanting a Singer 99 for a while but the only one I've seen in person didn't sound good to me. For some reason, I have to like the sound of my machine. I don't much care about the cosmetics.
In general, is one quieter than the other? Maybe the 99 wasn't oiled properly? It sounded very clanky to me, if that makes sense.
I would like to buy a 99 but I know I won't use it if it doesn't sound smooth and quiet to me.
I'm not afraid to mess with it myself, apart from wiring.
I'd love opinions about the two types of machines -- advantages/disadvantages of each.
Thanks!
Ila
