    Does anyone know what Model Singer this is? I am very interested in this but want to make a wise choice? What should I look for? Is this a good price? Does this need to be in a cabinet to work? Thanks Here is the link http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/atq/2409616351.html

    Looks like a 99 but to be sure you would have to have the serial number. Maybe you can e-mail them and ask.

    I have e-mailed and asked if I could call them. Can you tell me how the serial number tells me how to recognize what model it is? Is this a good price? Not a feather weight, right?

    It is NOT a featherweight. No sure about what it is. It is a bobbin shuttle machine. They take a while to get used to.

    No it is not a featherweight. Once you have the serial number you come to the internet and google singer sewing amchine serial number lookup and that list will not only tell you what it is but when and where it was manufactured.

    There is a list online that you can look the serial number up on. The list will tell you what it is, where and when it was mfg. That would need to be in a cabinet, cabinets can be found if you look for them. I can't tell from the picture if it's motorized or not but if it is try to find out the condition of the wiring, it may need to be rewired. Also try to find out if the motor on it is good or not. If it's a treadle, new belts can be purchased for them.

    It's a 128, Vibrating Shuttle type with what look to be the La Vincedora decals. :) Very cool machine.

    The "La Vincedora" decals were only put on the 3/4 machines (28 or 128) and the bobbin winder is up near the handwheel, so it's a 128.
