Does it work?

Looks like it would need all new electrical cords. I personally wouldn't get it because I would have to pay to send it out to get it brought up to snuff.

Here is the listing. http://desmoines.craigslist.org/atq/2334162437.html Robin in TX |
GRAB IT! You can't go wrong with this machine, even if it needs some work done. I've got one and would never part with it. Mary

Thank you!

My 99 was bought in 1954 and I would never part with it. It saw me thro 5 kids....taught my daughters and granddaughters how to sew on it, and am now teaching my 10 year old neighbor. Kids love this machine...it's easy, won't run away with them, and simple to thread.
I have a modern Viking, but still use the 99 for certain things...like buttonholes....absolutely perfect~! |
