Sharon,
Treadle belts are easy to replace. This page tells you how.

I have had it sitting on a shelf in my sewing room as a decoration. However, with all the posts I have been reading I would love to try restoring her/him....no name as of yet. I think I will need to work in it for awhile before I give it a name.
There are no accessories and it is missing the knee/foot pedal.

10,000 is a low number run for Singer, usually its around 50,000. But the 99 was a low production machine for the US with only 734,000 made total. The 99 was in production for only 34 years in the United States from 1923 to 1957 so it should make it a not that often seen model.
In comparison there were over 3.5 million model 27's made in a 13 year period. Both machine totals are from the Elizabethport NJ factory.

One guy was making and selling metal adapters that work one New Home model--I have one of those set up, but as of yet haven't found the right size spring to wind the bobbin. Here she is--another pretty face:

Billy;
I'm a fixing to blame you for me buying 2 old machines today. One is a Singer, made in 1924, that still has the original cord, in good shape, plus the curved cover. The cover doesn't smell and was really well taken care of by previous owners. The decals are mostly worn off but by looking at the remains, they were fairly plain. The other is a Davis. Neither is named as of yet and I'll post pics later along with more info.

She's here....you won't believe the fantastic job that Billy did to package her and ship her out....she has been unpacked and stroked with great enthusiasm...she is now back in the case and will have to wait just a while longer for a complete service and cleaning....I have decided that she will be a working machine....that is what they were made for after all....I am careful with pins and I do not wear any jewelry so I think she will be just fine.....the original photos are on page 103....so again, Billy, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....
Happy dancing and wildly happy in KS,
