Thank you all for all the information about the 99K Singer model and will pass the info along to my daughter. I told them too bad it isn't one of those little Featherweights I keep hearing about on this board - I'd ask to keep it at my home to use it. This 99K machine is very very heavy. Oh well. Thanks again for your help.

heavy is good - keeps it on the table.

They ARE heavy little buggers, aren't they? All that glorious cast iron.

It's not quite as petite as a featherweight (3/4 size instead of 1/2 size) but if you ask me it's just as cute. I'm seriously in love with mine and I don't even have it fully functional yet!

How do I up load a picture of the singer to this site? It keeps saying uploading to this site failed.

Make sure the picture is 640x480 or around that in size. If you took a picture with your cell it is probably too large

the older singer on the left is the one I had asked about getting a maual for. The cord going to the machine from the foot pedal at the machine are frayed. Can I take the motor and the foot pedal off and put the machine in the treadel cabinet on the right ( with the Athena 2000 in it) and make it a treadel again? It needs to be cleaned ,oiled and I will have to find the belt for it. It does run , I tried it before I realized the frayed wires. Thanks for the help and answering my questions. Myra

sorry the pictures posted twice and they are not beside each other.

SteveH

Not your fault. That is the software settings of the site currently.

I think that would be a great idea.

No Steve, that's a 15-91 and can't be treadled.

You could treadle it if you take off the motor and put on a big hand wheel. You can buy belt guard/bobbin winders but finding the screws to hold the replacement BW on is another story. OR you could just find a side winder. BTW it would be a dandy treadle. I have done it a couple times. I borrowed/stole the belt guard screws and belt guard from a very dead clone.
