A Singer 99 is 20-25lbs of solid iron with long pointy
bits of metal sticking off of it. When one gets free of
its mounts during shipping (which has now happened to
four machines sent to me), it will destroy a case from
within. Note that all the holes, splits and cracks were
pushed out from the inside. The seller thought he'd
packed it very carefully. It's pretty obvious he was
mistaken.
