Your FW attachments will work perfectly.
I have two of these 185's and LOVE them!

O.K......drooling here!!! :mrgreen:
I'm sure once you get her cleaned up, on the inside, plus a nice oiling she will quiet down. I love the color.

"Here is my new (old) Singer 319W born around 1954ish in the original table. The table is a bit rough, but is functional. I spent 2 hours cleaning it. It was DIRTY. The machine sounds very loud, but I just downloaded the manual and will oil it tomorrow. I'm also ordering up the special needles it takes as the needle in the machine is so old I can't read the numbers on it. The machine came with like 28 discs and is in good condition. I few chips of paint, but I'm so excited with my find!!! I love it. I just hope I can get it to quiet down a bit.

answer from seller to question 'does it have the bobbin case?":
yes it does.
thanks,joe
Unfortunately, what's the purpose of repainting a white one - well unless it goes really cheap! (And then making a cool color!) I was looking for one in better condition. (38 mins to go - $76)
