1958 Singer model 99k31, one of the last full runs of the model 99
before it was updated, restyled and renumbered to model 185. The
original case is nicked up but the machine itself is nearly
spotless. The RFJ5-8 motor has rather worn bearings, typical of the
later somewhat cheaper Singer 'permanently lubricated' motors, which
seem not to last as long as earlier motor models that needed to be
lubricated periodically. Machine courtesy of Máirín Duffy.
