I absolutely love it! I'd no experience at all of vintage machines, had never even seen a FW, but was intrigued by all the praise they got, so when I saw one on ebay that I didn't have to bid for, and which was a 1953 baby like me, I decided to take the plunge. It's in beautiful condition, and sews like a dream. After years of battling a temperamental modern machine, it's a joy to use.
-and now I've also bought a 201! A steeper learning curve on that one, but I'm getting there.
