My first post ever and hope it's a new topic, not something you've all heard a hundred times.
I bought a Singer 99 handcrank -- very lovely machine in beautiful condition but the faux-crocodile box is not. I'd have preferred a bentwood box in any case. I've noticed a few advertised by a sewing machine parts seller on eBay and asked, since I have the wood tray for the 99 and it's in excellent condition and evidently has openings for a bentwood cover to slot-in, does a 3/4 size bentwood automatically work? Apparently the seller's never been asked this before and wants photographs of the slots in the tray. But I can't imagine this proves much. They're just generic metal slots for something to fit into them.
So thought I'd ask on here since others have probably already made this change on a 99 and know whether you can change to a bentwood cover from the faux crocodile box -- or not. Anyone have advice on this? Would I be better off to buy the entire bentwood box -- top and bottom? Thanks in advance!
