It looks like yours has been converted to use a plug and foot controller like https://www.amazon.com/Control-Feath.../dp/B01KINEQTO I'm thinking you have no plug to plug into the house electrical outlet.

My 99 has two plugs in the back of the side compartment. I have a picture of the plugs, too, but since you have the Singer three pin plug, you don't need that. Attachment 634686

It looks like you need a slide plate like https://www.amazon.com/SINGER-Slide-.../dp/B074L1318X
which would be installed as page 29 of the manual you linked to. There is another manual from singer.com for a machine like mine at https://res.cloudinary.com/singer-se...ng_Machine.pdf and has instructions on installing the slide plate on page 14 of this manual.

Okay, so you have a combination machine. Your machine has the older, non-numbered, tension and the screw stitch length regulator, rather than the lever type. However, you have a more modern plug.

Thank you for the picture. There are lots of places and prices for the items needed, I just gave links to the first ones that popped up so you know what you are looking for.

That's so strange... What I'm wondering is if at some point the original motor went out, and, unable to source the correct one, it was fitted with a motor from a "newer" machine as, upon further inspection - the wires aren't even connected to the controller in the box. I'm not fully sure what I'd need to connect them to, though I saw some versions of model 99 cords with a pronged connector. Although, the plate on mine doesn't even have that two pronged slot on the top. The belt on it is definitely a newer replacement belt. The wires are in a pretty delicate state, which is sort of to be expected..

And yes, the plate is missing haha. It's also missing a foot; from this parts website I'm seeing it as a low shank machine, is that correct?
