Folks might remember I scanned in a 1960's Singer leaflet with some cabinet models on it - and we all remarked we hadn't seen one particular model - the L.A. cabinet?
Well I bought one :)
I did think I would put my manual 99K into it - and have now found it won't it - so I have two 99s - one elctric and one manual - I may have to let the manual one go. But here a shot from the ebay sale, I'll take more photographs as I clean and reassemble - it's got a nasty musty smell at present
-
Wow - that's not usually my style, but that's beautiful! :loveit:
-
here's the leaflet where I first saw one
-
That’s fabulous....I want one!
-
It is lovvely - but now I've got ANOTHER machine - I really didn't mean not, but the 99 with a handle is too large to swing down into the cabinet :S
But it is stylish - I'm giving up a card table/trolley thing to make room or it but I feel it's a fair exchange .
-
If you ever want to part with it I’ll give it a good home.
-
I promised the lady I bought it from - who was parting with it a bit reluctantly - that I would keep it and cherish it :)
Funny that it's such a little-seen cabinet variant though, isn't it?
-
That’s fab! I’m sure the musty smell will come off soon, try wiping it all over inside and out with baby wipes... and keep it warm.
Hope you enjoy it!
-
What an unusual shape - but very much of its period.
Interestingly it looks as if the leaflet does say the 99k should fit.

@LeilaMay
That is so cool. Did you come by it accidentally or did you go to a dealer?

The electric 99K fits it - but I was hoping to swap it out or my older manual 99K - but the extra length of the handle prevents that.
annieg - I found it on ebay! :)

Tres Chic !

To me it's calling out for a Rocketeer.

Oh, wow :) 0_0 :loveit:

Sadly it wouldn't fit in - only a 99 or a 185 according to the leaflet spec.
:)
-
Rocketeers never turn up here anyway. The closest would be a 185 for the cabinet, it has the new look given to the beige 201s and 401s. I don't mind a 99 in the cabinet though, it was still in production in 1958 when the 185 took over. Lots of angles and sharp edges in the L.A. cabinet.
-
That is just gorgeous! :loveit: :loveit: :loveit:
-
There’s a LA table and 185 for sale on FB marketplace... too far for me!
-
I think it must be sold
