LOL* I can't believe I bought another old sewing machine. Another $5 Goodwill special. I think this must be a pretty common machine because I see them all over the place. The only thing wrong with it, is it was missing the power cord. It has a knee bar and a foot pedal, but the knee bar isn't connected and the foot pedal has a crack in it. I brought it home and hooked it up to the foot pedal of another machine and voila - it sews! LOL* There is some cracked rubber over the wiring which I am debating tackling myself. But who knows, it may be too much a job for me, I am not yet sure. I'd like to think I can do just about anything myself so long as I am motivated enough. Lol* Anyhow the whole purpose of purchasing this machine was to experiment. It only cost me a few bucks and I want a machine I can pull apart and fiddle with and not feel guilty about it. I'd love to refurbish this myself, and see if I truly can do it without paying someone else. This will probably be an ongoing project, so I'll keep you posted. Lol* :)

One of the old machines I have had a very perished cord/wiring from the foot pedal to the machine, my husband just replaced it with some new wiring he bought at ACE hardware, it was a 10 minute job.
Ha! I took the pledge and quilt buying machines. However, if I happen across a Featherweight....
No pledge for me! I have 10 old machines and will buy them every time I see one! I love them....they all work too! My hubby will even buy them when he sees them now.....
