Just picked up a model 99 at a thrift store today for $40 (woo!) and it's in great condition and is in the wood base. However, it didn't come with a cord/control of any sort. I've found plenty of foot pedals that claim they'll work, but it has a separate "sewing motor controller" inside the box that it's wired to and seems to have a car-auxiliary esqe plug on the outside of the box. The manual for a model 99 on singers website also
shows pictures of a machine that look a bit different?
So unless I have the model wrong, but according to
these sheets it seems to be a 99. Serial number is AB154822 if anyone wants to double check me on that.
Anyway, another idea - could I fit this machine with a different turn wheel to turn it into a hand crank machine? Just a thought.
