1938 Singer 99K with knee lever controller.
A good friend came across this 99K recently & donated it to the cause: ) Cheers Ricky! Had many 99Ks before, but this is the first one with the knee lever that I have had my hands on. I'm very interested to try it running: ) It's in nice condition, but missing its bobbin cover/slide plate & the old, pre-war wiring needed replacing. Wiring is now done & it runs very well. Cover plate on its way. First stitching for many a year here: The knee controller in its little prison looks like this. With the knee lever inserted it is quite sensitive & positive in use. From a controllable slow crawl to full speed. But it's easy to keep the speed constant anywhere in between low & high. It's way better than the Button Foot controller on a carpet...The actual lever looks quite crude, but it could be modified I reckon.
