You are looking at a 99k with 60000 of them allotted for that run on January 5 1950.

The 99K was 3/4 sized machine made in Kilbowie, Scotland and if it is an electric model be sure to look at the motor and see what voltage it is. If its 250V you can swap motors out to one that is 110V and your good to go.

And THANK YOU for the pie!!! I am digging the rhubarb!!!

Billy;

You're welcome for the pie. The rhubarb is from my garden.

Re the machine: Is $50 a fair price for it? I haven't seen any pics but the seller says it's in good condition with some attachments but no manual.

Hi Everyone ! Well, I vaccumed the underside and used my needlenose tweezers to get all the stuff out.Took some photos.illy you'll be very pleased to know that I actually sewed on the machine ! Put in a new needle there were some bobbins already wound with thread.Yeah! Cleaned out the bobbin case area.but there is a red piece of fabric that looks like a wick it's just to the right of the button you push to get the bobbin out of the case. It's attached to or inside a little metal ring of wire that looks like a spring. I removed some of it but I think it's supposed to be there .(photo). There is something wrong with the presser foot lever, it snaps down without moving the lever. I opened that area and the only way it will raise is by me physically doing it using the flat end of a screwdriver as a lever. Don't worry Billy, I put a towel under the screwdriver so it wouldn't scratch anything. Then when I use the machines lever to lower the presser foot it snaps down and I cannot raise it. MY Maggie Has no rust anywhere! When I turned the hand wheel(whatever was left of it) to sew the only noise I heard was a very soft tic, tic . It was rythmic and I could imagine those are the very gentle sounds that are normal to a treadle. Almost like a train moving over the tracks. The exterior metal needs to be cleaned and the rest of it could use a good polishing. The bobbin area seems to be intact. It is a little loose. The metal cover for the top of the bel tis lloose. I think that might also be part of the bobbin. it might be loose because there's no belt-- I don't know. Billie- Kenz is generously offering to take his broken apart for anything that I might need. He said the wheel will need some restoration. the wheel that broke off my machine was almost perfect. :(. The serial # for his machine is G9250054. He will send me photos.

more photos and I want to thank evey one for their concern and help. The decal on the machine bed is beautiful. I was able to take off the hand wheel with no problem. Thanks for the help Billy. You'll be hearing from me. Anne
