I am fortunate to have an original Singer hand crank for my 99K. I have one of the funky Chinese made hand cranks too, much prefer the Singer type as its much smoother.

I hit "reply with quote" and it goes to Your Message. I am typing the message there. Below the post is a place to post an icon like the mad face. Below that is Manage attachments. I'm gonna try to post a picture and see if it works. I see it did work. It was just like the old way to add a picture by browsing in your picture files. I'm adding text by clicking on Edit post and when I finish adding on, I hit save and it changes the post.

Boy I must be getting old, all these changes are making my head swim. I guess I will learn how to navigate this site in a few days. LOL

I have Davis, New Home, Wheeler and Wilson, Wilcox and Gibbs, and the Singer 9W (which is basically a Wheeler and Wilson) that I had to buy special needles for, but why did Singer decide to do that with one of their machines? Maybe that is one of the reasons the 319w was a bust after only being in production for 3 years! Are there any other Singers that take a special needle? Nancy
Nancy; The Singer 306 also takes that weird 206X14 needle. MY neighbor has one that I covet but she's not selling and did say something about $500 when she did get serious. I like it but not that much. I don't know of any others (singers) that take the different needle but maybe others will answer.

Chris, I think the 319 and 306 take the 206X13 needles.
