Here is the listing.

YES YES YES!!!!I have 2 99's. One is a Singer that I bought 30 years ago and have taught my children and girl scouts how to sew on it. I also have a "new" Spartan which is a stripped down model of the 99. I took it to a quilt rertreat last week and it replaced a newer machine and sewed all week. I think it was smiling for the excercise.

Oh I'm guessing you will love it. I already own a 1952 Featherweight, which I love as well. I bought mine off of ebay. I just took a class on how to maintain it and was amazed all the spots that needed to be oiled. Luckily it doesn't have to be done very often, and I bought a book to show everything about it. I'm set! Good luck to you in your decision making.
