The machine is identical, but not everting is identical. There is a bit of difference to the casing, the UK made versions have extention tables both on the suit case type as well as bend wood cases. Many US made machines doens't have them. The uke made 185K (much the same machine) usually come pale wood bases with extention table. I haven't seen any US made with this base. There are som rare exceptions to the 99 cases, where the extension table double as a tool and accessory box, stained lacquered wood.

Grease for motor?
I have a 99K, and wondering about how to grease this motor. I can’t find an online adjuster‘s manual for this wonderful machine, or find that it’s clearly apparent what to do by looking at the motor. Please help. Thank you.

On page 12 of that manual, it shows where to grease the motor. Also do not use modern Singer lubricant. It is a different formula and not meant for older machines.

I used my 99s mainly for handcranking. I suspect their might be oil or grease for the motors depending on the era.
Spartans also have a cutout in the far right corner of the bed for an electrical cord to come through. And no lamps.
