Here you are helping me again. Thank you Mr. Andy. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the comment. You just never know what. I'll shine a light on next haha
@@andytubesewing1953 You shed light on many things and are kind to share it all with us. Be well.
Thanks for all this information. My 99k is a smooth running machine now. Ordered the bulb from Amazon, and now just using your advice on cleaning off a clear coat that must be 10 years old.
Glad to help. Users sure love the LED light so I hope you will also. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Andy for putting up the side by side pictures it really shows a big difference. Plus the LED is a cooler bulb. I guess I’ll have
Vet to order some for my vintage machines.
Welcome. They are much cooler, you are correct. I think they can have yellow or white like. We all like the white light. It's really crisp. Thanks, Rita, for watching.
WOW, That's a great light.
That's much better.
Sew-Classic is probably my favorite parts supplier since the prices are so low, but she was out of stock on about 70% of the things I went there to get last time, and some of those things, like the hard rubber feet for the base of the 413, have been out of stock for a very long time.
My last order I sent a note asking if she was going out of business, that was a couple maybe three weeks ago.
She never replied.
I hope she gets stocked back up.
When I went to order more rubber feet 2 weeks ago they showed out of stock. I emailed Jenny and asked if she could say when they would be back in stock and she said her suppliers are expecting more in about a week and she would email me when she got them in. 8 days later (Tuesday) she emailed they were in and I bought some. I don't know if she is having trouble with the suppliers or they are having trouble getting parts, many of whick are coming from China I believe. The trade situation between China & USA maybe? Anyway, I bought 24 rubber feet and was happy to get them at her great price. I hope she remains in business as long as I am restoring machines. Thanks for watching.
Merci Andy pour cette vidéo je suis d'accord avec votre épouse la lumière blanche est préférable pour coudre...mais là le led light on dirait presque un projecteur !!! Prenez soin de vous et bien sûr I like 👍👍👍👍
Merci Radia. Cette LED a environ 100 émetteurs et est très lumineuse. Je peux aussi acheter des LED avec 30 à 65 émetteurs qui fournissent moins de lumens mais sont néanmoins bien meilleurs que les vieilles ampoules à incandescence chaudes. Prends soin.
Hi Andy, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video. I have a 99K with the light fixture on the back, and I'm glad you mentioned the diffuser dome. Mine has the diffuser which is preventing me from getting my fingers into the fixture to unscrew the bulb, which is apparently burned out. Any tips on how to remove that diffuser? Thanks. Awaiting your response, Madelyn L.
Page 6 of this original manual has the instructions. It's a free download.

Excellent led lamp, here in Brazil this type of small LED lamp is more expensive than small incandescent bulb lamp. A small incandescent bulb comes out cheaper in price, the small led bulb gets to cost 5 times more than an incandescent bulb lamp.
You are correct, and it is the same here in the USA. To me, it is worth the price because they are brighter, cooler and last almost forever. All that does not matter if it is over your budget though. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment.
I recall using my mom's vintage machine growing up. The light always was hot and u burned my hand on the thing while sewing. The light was located on the back, but centered in the middle of the sewing arm. What were they thinking!
It does make you wonder. On this model 99K, 1926 was when Singer first made a light available. Imagine how modern that must have felt. My understanding was the lights with metal shades were even hotter to use. Thanks for watching Elizabeth. Please return soon.
You just answered a question for me. I just adopted a 99, for only $10. i was wondering about the light. I have all the wiring and motor disconnected and glad i watched this. I didn't know that was a lense on the light. Now my next ? Is how do i remove the lense? I will be watching all your videos on the 99. Thanks so much for your help!
Welcome to Andy Tube. Cute did not come with a lense for the spotlight. It did have a part called the tension spring, part no. 195134.
A round ring about as big as the opening in front. I believe the spring goes int the front of the light and sits on a shelf or nubs and the lens is inserted and turned against the spring to hold the lens in place. Just my theory as I had no lens. Here is the video where I dismantle the spotlight and talk about the lense: :
ua-cam.com/video/xNy0E3LVEHU/v-deo.html Thanks for watching my channel and congrats on the bargain (incredible) of the price!
Thanks for your video! Just got a 99 K and light wouldn’t come on… had to figure how to take apart.. mine had the globe covering… ordered the led one you mentioned… hope it will turn on!
Chances are it will. If not maybe the wiring is something like this. ua-cam.com/video/xNy0E3LVEHU/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
@@andytubesewing1953 Thanks!
Just got my LED light and it works! Thanks again! Probably a blessing that the old bulb didn’t work when I got machine cause I didn’t know it got so hot!!
@@bethhayes8807 That's great news! I'm happy for you it does make a big difference in better lighting and it barely gets warm. I think you're really going to like that. 99 k.
1935 singer 99. seems it needs the resistance from the bulb to run. bypassed it and got sparks, old bulbs are 15w leds are 2w. can this be done well?
I don't think the change in wattage of the bulb would cause that. The light works independently of the motor and vice-versa. You can run the motor with the bulb on or off, and even with a burned-out bulb in place. If you used the wrong voltage of the bulb, meaning a 110 instead of 220, etc. maybe that would cause a problem. The only time I've had "sparks" on a sewing machine was due to poor connections or defective wiring. You said "bypassed it" so did you change the wiring connections??
Hope I can find this bulb. I also need a bobbin plate cover for a 1959 99k. Where did you buy the bulb and do you know think they might have the bobbin plate cover & maybe some bobbins?

Hey Andy, I have been trying to figure out how to change the bulb in my 185k without damaging the green paint on the lamp the bulb it has is BURNING hot.
The bulb in this vide is made to fit model 185K. Hard to find 5/8" screw-in type. Page 38 of the 185K instruction Manual show to just unscrew old and screw in new. It does not mention a lense t remove/replace. BTW, the manual is free at this link (PDF download) www.singer.com/search/support?title=185 The incandescent bulb (especially the 15W model) makes the spotlight more of a heat lamp. I think you could cook with it (almost😉) Thanks for watching my video.
@@andytubesewing1953 no joke on the cooking! Found 5/8ths screw in led on amazon (similar design to push in led) ty for the manual:)
@@ashlisisk You're welcome. I know you will enjoy the LED.
Any suggestions for Singer 495 light bulb replacement?
The Singer manual shows it takes a standard bayonet style lamp. IMO, this is still the best one: www.ebay.com/itm/Two-2-LED-ALL-Singer-Featherweight-221-222-Sewing-Machine-Light-Bulb-Black-White/323817937370?hash=item4b650d99da:g:kq8AAOSwIjJZXj7y Foxy has to sell at least 2 at a time b/c of shipping and fees, but if you only have 1 vintage Singer you are missing out, hehe. They make a great gift.
Andy do you think that light will work in a 401a?
NOT THIS EXACT THREADED BULB. It screws into the socket. Model 401A uses BAYONET STYLE bulbs, which are readily available. I have put bayonet-style in several 301A, 401A, 403A, 404, 500A, 503A. Here is a video comparing the regular bulb to the LED in a Model 404, which has the same light socket as the 401A: ua-cam.com/video/uMK6jsQHoeY/v-deo.html I use this bulb which has the 100+ emitters. www.ebay.com/itm/6-LED-BULK-Singer-Sewing-Machine-Fits-ALL-Featherweight-221-Light-Bulb-LOT-Black/223143891593?hash=item33f4699289:g:GQoAAOSwJ8RbmonX (I see she only sells multiples of 6 now) Some find it too bright. There are bulbs with fewer emitters available. Look for the ones without a flange where the metal and silicone meet. I had problems with those. I buy from Foxy b/c she was the first I found with the smooth sides that fit perfectly and I have used in almost every Singer model until this screw-in model 99K. We like the "white" light version, while some like the "daylight" (to me, yellow) version. For us, the white seems more clear and colors appear more natural. Thanks for asking, Jule. Take care.
Do you know if the lamp can be "opened up" so you can replace the wiring? Or do you have to buy a new lamp? My lamp is fine but I'm re-wiring the foot pedal and motor and would like to do the lamp too if possible.
Hi, J. Here is a Playlist of 20 videos for model 99K: ua-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKIIUgkEujqHc9iNWN9NPW2Z.html
One of the videos in the Playlist is this one for the Spotlight: ua-cam.com/video/xNy0E3LVEHU/v-deo.html You'll see how to open the lamp socket and how the wiring works. I hope that will help you. Thanks for keeping the machine in service, and good luck.
@@andytubesewing1953 Thanks for the reply. I tried to find it on your channel but could not locate it.
@@jdimeo1966 I don't know what else to say, J. I gave you the direct link to the video. Here it is again:
Spotlight: ua-cam.com/video/xNy0E3LVEHU/v-deo.html You can also type "spotlight 99k" in the search box of UA-cam and it will show you the video. You can also type "spotlight 99k" in the GOOGLE search box and my video is first in the list that comes up. If you are in Arizona stop by and I give you a personal showing 😀
@@andytubesewing1953 Sorry...I can see how my reply was confusing. I was thanking you for providing the link. I did find it when you provided the link in your first reply. I was trying to say I couldn't locate the video before I contacted you the first time. Bottom line: I found the video. 🙂
@@jdimeo1966 thanks for the clarification. Because I couldn't figure out how you missed the link. I do hope the video will help you. If not, let me know and we'll continue the journey
Hi Andy. I was searching the internet to see whether or not I could put a light on a Singer Spartan that my son gave me for Christmas when I came upon your video. I had a Spartan when I was younger in the 1960s which I traded for an Athena 2000. Always wished I had kept the Spartan. So my son found me a Spartan to use to teach my grandaughter to sew, but it doesn't have a light. Do you know whether a light can be attached and if so, where to get one?
Hi, Eliza. There are a few Spartan Models. Some have screw holes in the back of the arm for a fixture, but the fixture can be pricey, IMO. www.ebay.com/itm/Singer-Sewing-Machine-66-15-91-99-Bug-Eye-Spotlight-Light-Lamp/164535398855?hash=item264f12f1c7:g:yJAAAOSwzztfvazU You will usually need to alter the wiring to add the light (if it fits) Nowaday, people buy an LED light that has a magnet (for iron machines) and/or sticky tape to attach a gooseneck-style led light(or two) to the back bed or arm of the machine www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=led+light+for+sewing+machine&_sacat=0
@@andytubesewing1953 Thank you so much for this information. It looks like the gooseneck is the perfect answer. I really appreciate your prompt reply.
@@elizamartin9506 Very welcome, and your timing was perfect. I had just sat down at the computer. Take care.
I didn't even think about light bulb replacements when I started messing with sewing machines..I have 3 machines that need bulbs..Can't seem to find a reasonably priced replacement that's either available here in Canada or will ship here without giving up a limb for it..lol
The white LED lights are wonderful. Some of my Canadian viewers had good results buying them from China (thru eBay.ca) for what they felt was a reasonable price.
@@andytubesewing1953 Ok thanks Andy..I'll see what I can find..If the price is reasonable enough might want to stock up.

Hi Andy I have a Singer machine 4432 . I want to change the bulb to led is that possible
Yes, you just need to see what the existing bulb is. Is it a screw-in type like in my video? Is it a regular bayonet style like this www.ebay.com/i/382310466505?chn=ps# You can get free instruction and service manuals for your model 4423 here:
www.manualslib.com/s/singer+model+4423.html
Hi Andy, if I replace my bulb with an LED bulb, will my lens still fit?
I believe it will. The LEB bulb is no longer than the incandescent bulb. I did not have the lens, of course, but you do so you can see how close to the end of the fixture the lens sits and how far from your bulb if you have one, the lens is. Also, the seller I bought from has been in business for decades, and if he says the bulb is for the 99K I trust that it is. Thanks for watching my channel.
@@andytubesewing1953 Thank you Andy!
@@marydeignan2183 Sure, and best of luck.
I attempted to order from Terry at link below. On his site the first light bulb is 14 something dollars then 13 something for two etc but that's not how it comes up when you attempt to order. Disappointing because I was hoping to find one.
So how did it "come up", Shelly? I just looked and it seemed normal to me (08/09/2020 @ 11AM) Added 1 bulb and then 2 bulbs and the price (after the shown discount) was correct in each case. Free shipping + tax as I'm in AZ. If you're getting some other responses feel free to contact the seller on the provided link. Sorry that you had somehing different.
@@andytubesewing1953 thanks....I believe the credit card issues with billing address had me frazzled. I am waiting response.
Ah, no wonder! I always use Paypal. I hope it all works out for you. It's a good quality bulb, IMO.
Is this the same bulb used in a 66-19? I looks the same
I have 12 parts lists for model 66, but nothing for a model 66-19. Most sellers of LED bulbs show a push-in style of the bulb but it could depend on the light installed on your machine as many of the 66 models were sold without a light. Singer push-in bulbs are the same base size. If your light fixture requires a screw-in bulb they come in 2 sizes that I know of, a 5/8 inch and a 7/16 inch. The one for my 99k has a 5/8" base. www.ebay.com/itm/Sewing-Machine-LED-Light-Bulb-5-8-Base-Screw-In-Type-15-Watt-120-Volt/292205375813?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
This is the common size push-in style they sell for model 66 www.vintagesingerparts.com/collections/singer-model-66/products/led-light-bulb-push-in-type-19-32-base-part-2pcw-led
@@andytubesewing1953 thank you, It is an add on light that looks like yours, it still had the lens, and is a screw in bulb of really odd shape, the the one you pulled out. With a larger based than a "chandalier bulb." I'm inclined to believe it is the same! Thank you, again. I will order one.
@@julielawrence4201 yes, a SInger Spotlight should take the screw-in bulb. 5/8 inch. you can search for a better price, but this one is 15W and gives the most light IMO.
This is a 5 year old video so no one will answer. But mine still has the lense on and I don't know how to remove it to change the light inside. I bet this one is missing the lense because someone broke it trying to get it out.
Oh. I'll look at the manual referenced down below. Thx!
ua-cam.com/video/q4y3NGvuxD8/v-deo.html
I found a video that showed how to take off lens… you have to push the globe inward and twist counterclockwise.. you can see the notches .. it will fall out… I have the video… if I can send
