That was very satisfying seeing this lovely old machine receiving some overdue attention and then hearing that unique Singer "click clack" sound when it sews. Thank goodness we still have people who know how to look after these old workhorses. Excellent camera work too, thank you Gary.
Thanks so much for making this video! I’m sitting with the fire on and birthday glass of Prosecco in hand fixing up a 99 I found in the dump last week and having the best time time 🔧
Thank you for this. My machine had stopped working and I followed your instructions and now it's all fixed. It just badly needed a service. Thank you so much
Thank you. I just got an electric 1957 99k for $75 USD. It looks like it has barely ever been used. I appreciate your instruction on how to take proper care of it. It is really remarkable to me when I can buy something old, that might have been someone’s prize possession with the money I happen to have in my wallet. It seems a little sad but I’m happy I can take some of those things and give them the care respect they deserve.
I picked up a 100th anniversary (1951 model) for 5$ at a yard sale complete with flip top table years ago. The seller warned me it wouldn't run, but a new power cord, some rollers, oil, and timing adjustment and it was running perfectly. The gold trim on it is in really good condition. the table has considerable wear, but it is intact. It has a place for the foot pedal that lets you use your knee to operate the throttle. I put a LOT of miles on that machine. (Now I run a Juki. :)
Your explanation of what each part of the machine does is so very helpful! I have a motorized 1928 Singer 66 and your video is just what I needed to understand the parts and get mine oiled up. Your close up parts in the video is great! Love your bottle for dispensing oil.
I was gifted a 66k machine it was completely locked i replace rubber band. Put oil where i thought. It was better but so slow. Watched your video went back and put oil where you said and after a while it took off. Running beautifully. Thank you so much for a easy to follow video
your video is amazing...just purchased a 99K hand crank in lovely condition but gave it a service as you instructed and it works like a dream. Thank you 😁
Thank you, I spent the morning with you oiling and getting to know my machine. Although a different model to yours, thank you so much. We are now happily sewing.
I just sold a singer featherweight and my mom's singer that was in a cabinet not sure what the model year was. I must say I totally cleaned and oil the machines before I sold them. I can't imagine sending someone a machine in such a sorry state. I would at least clean the lint out. I'm totally a modern machine gal myself but for some reason I'm just loving these videos of you restoring these old machines.
Thank you! I've just serviced my machine following your video. All running smoothly. Only problem is a loose screw/bolt in the handle crank, it falls out but i think i should be able to fix it. Brilliant, so helpful and easily explained.
Brilliant video. New subscriber. So glad I found you.you explain everything so clearly. Love how you zoom in on everything we need to know. Once again excellent and thank you
Thank you so much for this! I've just acquired my great grandma's Singer 99 and thought I'd broken it after a week when it jammed up. Turns out it just needed some oil in the right places!
I believe that machine was electric and she swapped it out because no need for power while traveling , some places may not have even had the right type of plug if power at all , thats why i love my hand crank model 28s , im accually about to take one hand crank off and puf it on my 99 , thats why im here , looks like i should have no problem doing so , thanks for sharing....
I bought a 1945 99K last summer & just finished giving it the decently thorough cleaning & oiling it needed, as you did (not deep clean yet, but more than enough to get sewing). So glad to have found your video to follow along. Mine has the knob for stitch length, which was initially stuck tight. I oiled the front & even managed to get a bit onto the back of the knob via winding a long-spouted bottle in from the side. A little heat...& we finally loosened it with pliers wrapped for protecting the knob. No numbers on the length knob or the tension dial, so quite a few tests ensued, & it is now sewing a beautiful 11 stitches per inch. That's as far left as we can turn it so far; do you know what these older ones can get to? We're not sure how much to keep pushing. Thanks!
This was really useful - thank you. I bought an old 99k Singer and cleaned and serviced as you talked us through the procedure. I am having a problem with the bobbin - the underneath thread is very loose - I’m not sure if I need to increase or decrease the tension - and how to do that ? Can you tell me at all please ?
Lovely clear directions.How do you replace a drive belt on this machine.... I have been gifted a hand crank model too ( 92 yr old friend) but the wheel is disengaged from the needle it looks like the drive belt has failed but it was working until a couple of years ago.
I found your video most helpful in fact I pulled part of my machine to bits this morning.! Having got it back together again, with husband's help, my problem was still there. The problem is I think the gears are slipping. The machine will not go through many thickness's of material. Can you help please? I have sewn anything from jeans to a wedding dress and also leather but now it would be impossible.
Wow! Awesome video. Thanks. I'm probably too late commenting for this to ever be read but thought I'd give a try. The small manual you have is much different than the one I downloaded for the 99K that I had passed down to me. I'd really like to get the one you had for the detail on the tensioner. Can you please tell me where I can get a copy/pdf etc. of that exact manual? Thanks much.
I can’t believe he is putting oil in that machine with all that dust that I can see in it. And to say you usually use an air compressors to blow dust out. That wild. Can’t believe he does that. Blow dust around inside and then put oil on it. Wow
Professional sewing machine mechanics always use compressed air to clean sewing machines. It blows the dust out of the machine, not into it. Keep an eye out for a video showing this in action. You can clearly see I briefly showed cleaning with a brush because not everyone has access to compressed air and I also explained I was doing a quick clean for brevity. A little dust has no adverse effect on the machine's ability to sew. Admittedly, I could've cleaned it more but I was just demonstrating the service procedure and is not a full restoration.
Hello, just wondering if you would post a video looking at the knee control on a Singer 99k please? I have a little pretty one, with the knee control and sometimes it runs on just a few stitches, which I think is the weight of the knee control not returning to the neutral position. I can tap it with my left hand and it lifts up a tad and the machine stops sewing - but I am sure when properly adjusted the machine would stop on a stitch not run on for a few stitches.
There's an oil point under the cover on the side of the machine. It lubricates where the knee lever goes into the machine. Maybe try that first. Thanks.
I’m finding my 99 feed dog going too far forward and hitting against the edge. Can you tell me where the adjustment is to align it to where I don’t do that. Thank you.
Hi, Thank you for the video, planning to buy one of these to my sister, wondering if it is easy to use the cranck while sewing, I have no experience in sewing but I always thought they we need 2 hands to hold and direct the fabric. will it be easy to complete a project using one hand on the cranck and one hand on the fabric? thank you
I have a hand crank and love it… don’t have to worry about a foot pedal. I find it is easy to use.. and I am a beginner… it’s easy to guide along!! Have fun!
I could be completely wrong, but I'm pretty sure the pictures you were pointing at were hand drawn and rendered 'exploded diagrams'. I'm not sure when exactly they were drawn which may make my observation of materials incorrect, but they were most likely rendered with watercolour or pencils. I was taught how to do them by hand in uni and I was terrible!
My spring must be ancient...it doesn't look like anyone else's. Nevertheless, something is not right with my tension. Regardless of whether the presser foot is up or down, the thread doesn't glide through. I've taken all the pieces off the shaft and reassembled. What I notice is the pin inside the shaft doesn't seem to move when I change the position of the presser foot. Shouldn't it?
I’m wondering if you ever got a reply about your tension issue. I am in the same boat and hoping to find help on the Internet. Finding this video was a delight.
@@txxpxx5587 it was the spring that was causing the issue. A guy sold me a wrong part. Once I got the right spring that looked like the one in my manual, I was up and running! Best tension in years! I oiled everyplace and bought grease for the motor, too. Like new ( well almost).
You mention another video demonstrating how to service the clutch. Mine is not working properly, so I wonder if you could link to the video or just tell me what to do and where to add oil.
Regarding bobbins, I bought metal Dritz bobbins because reviews said that Singer brand did not fit the bobbin winder. Well, turns out the Dritz ones don't either (too tight). Which metal bobbins will fit my 99K's bobbin winder and where can I get them in the U.S.? Much appreciated.

I would like to convert electric 99 (1955) to hand crank but the wheel is the solid one and I need the spoke wheel. Is it possible to get a spoke wheel to replace the solid wheel and get a non Singer crank? I hope you can reply.
There is a spoked wheel and Singer crank is available or you could find one on another machine if you keep a look out. Any reason why you want a non Singer crank?
@@InStitches I guess what I mean is, is a compatible crank if I can't find a true singer one. I think I found a used wheel, now im looking into a 99k machine. I will keep electric, but I'd like to be able to still sew if there end up being periods of no electricity or just the fun of trying something different.

Good EVENING. Is there anyway you can give me the value of a VERY RARE VINTAGE Sewing Machien. I can’t find it ANYWHERE. Would u be interested in seeing it ?
Shame on you. I got as far as the bobbin winding and noticed you winding the bobbin with green thread underneath. I know that it was for a demonstration purpose, with no “don’t try this at home” disclaimer. These machines will last a lifetime with proper care. They are much better than the plastic trash that’s produced today. I have nearly three dozen machines, mostly Singers, some Dressmasters, Whites, Kenmores and always looking to the herd. I have taken motors off seized machines and converted treadle machines to electric. I thoroughly enjoy working on these old time beauties and bringing them back to life. Remember, no winding bobbins with thread already on the bobbin.
Sorry, but I don't see why it's an issue. I've been doing it for 35 years and never had a problem. I can't see in any way how this would constitute "not caring for your machine".
I never said that you didn’t care for the machine, and I hope I didn’t imply that you didn’t. As a sewer, winding a bobbin over a bobbin with thread already wound with other thread is something I would not do. Your demonstration was good. I enjoyed it quite well. (Except the bobbin). Thanks for relying. Ed
@@edwardmarchesi3392 No worries. You know how things can get lost in translation in YT comments. I agree, as a sewer, you want to get as much of the colour of thread you're using onto the bobbin as you can. There's nothing worse than running out of bobbin thread in the middle of a complicated seam or while top stitching.
Where are you located? I’m about 15 miles from Boston, Massachusetts in the town of Wilmington. I’ve been collecting unwanted machines for about 10 years. Wether on the side of the road or buying for short money. I go through each machine, and tackle each issue until it’s running as it should. I even have people giving me perfectly good machines for my collection. I wish I started earlier in life.

The twist in the thread at ruclips.net/video/ajhk84KcEeA/видео.html a few things I have considered,
1/ Is this because it is low cost thread, or the way it is wound and meant to come off the end of the spool
2/ I re-thread the machine from scratch every few yards of sewing because I am sure that twist eventually causes problem with the hook is you sew for a long time.
3/ I would like to try an old fashion wood bobbin thread to see if the same happens.
4/ Most industrial machines have tension hole plates were you lace the tread through them, does this help the problem.
I have had the same problem with my VS machines until I started re-threading the machine every few yards of stitching.
I guess I should by better quality thread ;-)
Good quality thread it definitely worth a try. Thanks.
Also you must have the same thread on the top and the bobbin
Interesting but, I can't believe you are putting oil on with all that dust still there.
As explained in the video, I would normally use compressed air to clean machine out fully. You can clearly see I briefly showed cleaning with a brush because not everyone has access to compressed air and I also explained I was doing a quick clean for brevity.
