Is there a reliable website that shows the differences between the old Singers? I'm driving myself nuts trying to pick out a vintage machine. I did receive some responses about the Singer 128, but I'm not sure how it differs from the Singer 99K and would like to look that up.
I understand that some of you have extraordinary luck picking up these machines for $50 or less, but I assure you, there haven't been any in my area for a long, long time... that's why I'm looking on eBay.

If you buy the machine, make double sure that it has the shuttle and bobbin... they aren't terribly hard to find, BUT! They're expensive. I think you should do what feels best to you!
Hi, guys/gals!! I have a 128 that I picked up at a garage sale for $25 in a Bentwood case. I just offered to pay what they asked without checking it over very well....to say the least. The motor has broken off, so wondered if I could attach a handcrank to it?? I know nothing about doing this, but if there is a tutorial for it, I can read and follow directions. So that was question one. If the answer is yes, then...where can I find a crank for it and would it be easy for me to do alone? I'm crossing fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes....braiding my hair if that would work...Please please please!!!??? Thanks so much for taking a moment and pondering my questions.

Don't mind me posting CLs postings. I just love to wander the listings when bored finding good or interesting deals- even if others aren't interested since that isn't what they are really looking for.
I would look for a Singer 15-90 with external motor that could be used for FM quilting and piecing, and could be converted to treadle later if going that direction. And the harp space is large.
Have fun hunting!
