My Son-in-law bought it thinking it was a Featherweight. My Grandson said "We can give this to Gram for Christmas" and his father said "It is not high tech enough for Gram".

I really don't think I would know how to use something like that. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

My vintage singer has rock solid stitch quality. If I had to choose between that and my "high end" viking, I would probably choose the vintage.

Not a Featherweight but still a very nice machine!

I just bought a 99. I need to check the wiring before I try her out, I'm doing that this week. They are supposed to be great machines.

Sorry but great machine! Work horse! Tryy it! Keep it for backup!!

no

Singer 99. I have 2 of them. Works when nothing else will except for a treadle...LOL!

There is a site that helps identify Singer Machines. Ironically it is called ID Singer Machines. The site for checking serial numbers to find out the model has now been removed. Does anyone know why it was deleted? All they have is the year of manufacture. Here is the link to the ID web site. You follow a step by step proceedure to determine what the model is.

Okay--he is saying it is a Featherweight 99K but what I am understanding is the 99K is not a Featherweight, correct?

A 99 or 99K is not a Featherweight, you're right there.
