Won't need spa treatment at all just a little dusting off.

The machine I am restoring is a Singer 99-13. I don't have photo's of that since my camera bit the dust last week.
I do however have a couple of photo's of a machine I picked up a couple of weeks age at a garage sale for $20.00.
This is a De Luxe classic sewing machine. From what I have read so far about this machine is that it was made in Japan as a knockoff of the singer machine. This machine is in awsome shape. I have been sewing on it since it came in the door. Last week I was lucky enough to find the cabinet at my local Salvation Army store for $25.00. More then I really wanted to spend...but...it is in excellent shape and I am enjoying sewing on the machine so much I wanted to have it set up for easy access. Now I am not having to move machines from one place to another.
I did have to make a few minor adjustments to the cabinet. The machine will not be able to fold down because there doesn't seem to be anyplace for mounting screws on the bottom of the machine. But that is no problem...I enjoy looking at it. I didn't make the machine a permanent fixture to the cabinet so...if I want to make it portable I just pick up the machine and move it back to it's carrying case.
Here are a couple of pics that I have. The close up of the machine is not very clear...I think that is when my camera decided to take the dive.

My 411 also has a little raised piece that I can put around the throat plate in case I want to do free motion with the plate raised. I have not tried that yet. I do not have a foot for free motion yet.
DH and I looked at the machines to see how a treadle would go on it. It should be interesting to see if we can get it to happen. There is not a whole lot of metal under that wheel so be taking much of anything off. What would keep the belt from shifting off? I shot some pictures of the 401A and the 411G so you can see the differences.

The 401G and the 411G have instructions to do it in that manual and I have seen the chain stitch info on line. I have the parts to do it! I've not tried it yet - I so need my sister here. Look here for a pdf for chain stitching a Singer touch and sew. http://www.tandtrepair.com/600TandSstuff.html
Miriam,
You can keep the Touch and Throw; I dislike those machines.
So, sorry I'm not interested in looking at that manual.
I did look over my singer 328K manual, and I didn't see any instructions for chain stitching. I really don't plan on doing any chain stitching. Not interested. But what I did find, and way cool is the instructions on using the multi-slotted binder! I plan on giving that a test.

AH it is the info for the chain stitching I would point you to. If you have a drop in bobbin and the accessories it might work? I still have to give it a try. I would call those machines a torch and throw...
Glad you found info on the multi-slotter binder!
