Default Picked up a Singer 99k

Was at the local thrift store and ran across a mostly intact, if not neglected, 99K:



Serial no. dates it to 1957. All there except a throat plate and bobbin. Runs smoothly, no bobbin so no idea how it stitches. Has the standard push pin pad neck rash. Wiring has the usual litany of offenses committed to it: electical tape, twisted together, worn through spots and some gawd aweful wobbly plug grafted on.

Came in its original Singer table, which is a little rough but restorable.

Have several other projects on the go so it will sit in the corner of the sewing loft for now. Probably just restore the cabinet, strip it down, fresh paint and decals, a rewire, new electronic/digital pedal and just use it for smaller odd jobs it seems to be suited for.
