She is quite a job, but now at least she is cranking and 99% apart. She had a Kerosene bath yesterday and will do it again soon. That loosened some more screws, so now the hand crank is off and the feed dog cover has been removed.

I also need manuals for her too. :) Thanks for any help.

I forgot to mention, I got her for $11.50. But she needs work!

I am attaching some pictures of her :)

You can get the replacement cord on ebay for anywhere from 8-12 dollars...or find it in a sewing machine supply online. (I got mine from ebay)

Thank you Charlee, I will go and check there.

Hi fellow collectors of vintage machines, remember several weeks ago I posted pics of a very dirty blackside that was given to me with the case painted in an antique red. Well I did some work on the case and cleaned it up to match the cleaned machine. Here is some before and after pics of the case. Glenn

I have a question of my 99... it is from 1924, and I don't see the stitch lever on mine. Did they not have stitch lengths back then?? I have a picture to post for you to see.

See, there is no lever for stitches.

Although not shown she now has a front throat plate thanks to Kitzone. I have been using the machine and it sews really nice. I did wax the the bed to reduce friction on the fabric. I am going to like this machine. Glenn
