Members Sheilajeanne Posted October 9, 2021 Author Members Report Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Okay, I finally gave in. I am now the proud owner of a Singer 99K. It runs, but not well. Probably just needs cleaning and lubrication. It came with a table, but the table isn't in great shape. Some of the veneer is peeling or missing, though the legs are solid. The machine is missing the attachments. Got it for $60. I'd post pictures, but the seller already took the photo down. Will let you know how things go... Am I nuts or what...

Contributing Member fredk Posted October 9, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted October 9, 2021 I have a 99K. Its a fine machine. I need to learn how to use sewing machines. The 99 has been only used once, recently, for putting holes along the edges of a wallet so I could hand sew it with fine thread My 99 came with electric motor but I converted it to hand-power Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Members DrmCa Posted December 7, 2021 Members Report Posted December 7, 2021 I must admit that this Kijiji ad is for a well-preserved Singer but one would be crazy to pay that amount of $$$. It does not do much more than a brand-spanking-new $299 plastic Singer from Walmart or a $25 cast-iron Singer from Value Village. Yes, some accessories are included but they are not worth more than $50 on their own.
