299.00?? It's listed as a 200 or a 201? I see a Singer 99 in fair condition. What am I missing?

It looks fairly complete and fairly decent condition. I know the cabinet has been discussed on QB as desirable for this Domestic machine although this has hinges on top rather than lift off.

I contacted the seller and told them how to see if it runs using the knee bar.

The crazy thing is there is a bidder at that price! And they have increased their bid thinking someone else will get it? They must know a 201 is a good machine, but doesn't know how to verify what they are looking at?!? Around here 201s are about $100. I don't get it...

People cut them off when they can't find the key. It's better to just take it into a shop - a Singer store will have a key for sure, many of the other sewing shops will too, even a lock smith should be able to get it open. There's almost never a good reason to "permanently" damage a case to get it open. Yes, hinges and latches can be replaced but I don't think spares were always available.

Hmm, You get interesting results when you look up a Davis number on a Singer chart
