Just saw your post and as I was reading all the replys I just had to share since someone metioned your machine was made in Clydebank Scotland. My Grandfather was from Clydebank and he worked for Singer in the early 1900's. Infact on a mariage application we found he was listed as a brass finisher for Singer and his fiancee was a needle maker. Small world!

I was at a yard sale and saw a case with Singer on the handle and $5 price tag. I opened the case and it was a 99-. I asked the owner if it worked and she said I could plug it in to check it as she was selling it for a neighbor. It worked well enough for me to take a risk. I could hardly wait to get home to examine it further. I cleaned and oiled it, and the stitch is perfect. Heavy little thing, but I love it.
