A secondhand foot controller and power cord alone are worth twice that.

Empty treadle cabinets seem more common here, so I buy when they're cheap enough. Still have another three that need cabinets.

You have to luck out and find one. fleabay, sometimes other ways. I have one that came with a 28 in a bent wood. Best deal I've found in a while, other than the 222.
The easiest way for me to tell a 99 from a 66 assuming that the photo is a willing helper:
The motor. If there's about an inch poking out to the left of the pillar, it's a 99. If it's only a smidge, it's a 66.
