Any discussion about a 99K in there somewhere?I just bought a cutie (1954 99K) and don't like how the motor sounds. Are they hard to work on?

If you want a real smooth running 15 go find you a Japanese 15 and then you will throw your Singer out in the yard! IMO they are way better built than the Singer brand and my Universal is my all time go to machine and the only one I FMQ with.

Edited: Shuttle runs the same, transverse, but there's an additional slide that bisects the shuttle covers. Don't know yet what it's for as I can't get it to slide, yet.

I hate to ask questions that have been asnwered but all those pages to go through....ugh.
I just bought a cutie (1954 99K) and don't like how the motor sounds. It needs a belt and a good cleaning too. Restoring it might be above my skill level. Maybe I need to find a shop. Are they hard to work on?

I'll check out the tutes....
Is it true what Chris_Quilts said about it being noisy? It would be nice to have it be a quiet little one like my FW.

Of course, the other reason your machine might be noisy is because it needs oiling, this shouldn't be overlooked either.
Hope this helps?

Here is some stupid trivia for you, Ford bought the proprietary rights to the paint from HOK when it was first developed. It was called "Mystic" and was only offered on the Mustang GT. If you owned one of those cars and it was wrecked Ford sent a painter to the body shop to mix and spray the color for them and when he left he made sure that nothing was left behind.
