I have an opportunity to purchase a late 1950's Singer, model (99-) for $20 dollars. It looks like a great machine. The bobbin plate is missing. Is it worth purchasing this machine. Are parts easily available. It's supposed to be in working condition and I do plan to have it looked at be a Singer service repair person. I'm thinking for $20 I can't go wrong...Any opinions???

Plates are uot there and for most thngs, you can service it yourself with the instructions in the vintage machine site. I don't touch electrics, but older motors are so uncomplicated, they don't need much.

I bought my 99K (born in Scotland 11/20/56) at a garage sale Thurs for $12.00 In perfect condition! Came home & cleaned & oiled. Fri sewed a whole quilt on it. Great machine! On ebay they are going for $150. to 250.
