Sharon, how lucky can you be? Maybe after a few years of this, I'll have that happen. . . But in the mean time, I've got a ton of collecting to do!!

If you want to restore instead of refinishing we will tackle this as need arises to repair a bad spot. This tut will be never ending because there are so many types of repair so will handle this by your questions as they come up. Glenn |

I am looking a lot of machines tomorrow and I will more than likely buy them all and there are a few of the 66's in there with spoked handwheels.

Luv2learn, that is a 99 just like mine! I really am so excited as I was looking for an old Singer, and here I already HAVE one!

The machines are in my other 2 car garage on the side of the house. Billy |

This 99 looks nice, but on my wish list I would also very much like to have a model 15 . . . If I could only get one or the other right now, is this such a good buy to not pass up?? Thanx, luv2learn |
