(I have one of each, plus a 301 and 401.)The 221, 222 (FW) models and the 301 (FW's big sister) are the "lightest" of the vintage Singers. The difference btwn the 221 and the 222 is the 222 has a pull out bed that allows fir free arm sewing (to make it easier to stitch sleeves of clothing and such).
Personally, I would not pay 60.00 for a 99, unless I was able to delete the shipping costs, as you will be adding another $20-30 on for shipping and handling.
Let me know if I can be of further help. Cathy in MA
So far nobody has this one right yet, but your getting close.......It is a Model 128. :mrgreen:
If you look close enough you can see that it is a VS machine and since it is a 3/4 size machine it makes it either a 28 or a 128. How you can tell those apart is where the bobbin winder is. The 27 and 28's are set low on the machine, and the 127 and 128's are up high like the 66, 15, and so forth.
And it is well worth the money that they want for it!!!!
Oh and about the bobbins.....the 185 has the exact same bobbin assembly (part numbers and all) as the 66 and 99, so they all interchange with each other.
