    Wow, what a find. I'm sure they didn't know what they were throwing away.

    I have two Featherweights that belonged to my mom and grandmother. I saw this video:

    and ordered the book and DVD from:

    http://www.featherweightrx.com
    My little machines are all spiffed up and humming along and it was really EASY to do. Didn't even have to ask my husband (who's a total Mr. Fix-it) for help.
    You can get just about any part you need from:

    I'm just floored that you found that where you did. What a wonderful find!!! Congratulations...you're gonna love her.

    sounds like they had some idea, that somebody else might like it, but dropping off at a landfill?
    must have been a man...
    sorry, guys,...not all men would do that. That is why, we complain about the hubs, but, deep down, your our treasures too! :wink:

    People don't know what they have so often. Even in that condition I bet you could get $100.00 if you were so inclined

    Oh and yse you most certainly can get the foot pedal. My LQS got me a new one for the one I bought on Ebay.

    Every once in awhile I cruise the thrift stores - - especially senior citizen thrift stores ... there are some real classics ... maybe not the featherweight types <g> but, I keep hoping! LOL
    Your find just tickles me, and my enthusiasm for looking for gems is renewed.

    Congratulations! I just bought one off eBay several months ago and am thrilled with mine. They have lots of parts on eBay if you're looking for a foot pedal....

    What a wonderful find!

    A Singer service center might be able to get it up and running.
