She is a beauty. Sounds like a great machine.

I like how well it was taken care of and the finish is really lovely. It is a heavy little bugger but it is a work horse. They made a few of the 99 Singer in aluminum but the FW is still the lightest of the Singers other than the Model 24, 30 and the 20 (toy machine).

If you keep it oiled, polished and serviced (which you can do yourself) it will out last you and your kids!!!

Thanks, Billy....So, do you think it is a 99 or a 192k?

I should know this weekend if it will be mine or not.

Miranda, what does it say right under the top screw of the stitch length plate? I think you have a 192K judging from what features I see and also what is the serial number is it like ESxxxxxx?

:oops: :oops: BINGO! It says 192K! LOL! Thank you. I didn't know where to look, but all I have seen are pictures so far. Had I been looking at this in real life, I would've noticed. Thanks. The serial number is unreadable in the pics except the first couple digits. I made out enough of it to know it is a 1964 as stated.
I will find out today if I get to bring it home.
Everyone wish me luck!

Well, :oops: I got my cart before my horse, and I did't get the machine. I was THISCLOSE, and I was very disheartened to lose. :( Thanks for all the info/help. There will be more to come along. ;)
