I have an old singer 99K I have an old office desk but I did have a foldable sewing table I wish I still had.My old Sears Kenmore has the motor and belt attached to the side of the machine and I call her ole faithful, she straight stitches and zig zags, but all metal parts and the man that tunes her up and cleans her says she will last another hundred years,this machine is older than I am I'm glad to say. I remember my mother sewing on this machine when I was a little girl, my mother gave it to my brothers wife who just let the kids play with it and I rescued it many, many moons ago, I was offered money for her which I thought was a fair price but glad I didn't sell her. The only thing is she doesn't have her cabinet anymore and have not found one she will fit into without cutting on it, guess I just have not looked hard enough.
