You are going to love this little machine. I have 2 and love them both. They sew such a straight stitch. Enjoy.

I have a 201 and I have it in the shop to be cleaned and all the gunk removed. I highly recommend doing this because it probably hasn't had that done in a very long time if any. Yes it looks very dirty, sorry.

YIKES lube/oil I didn't realize there was a difference. Please explain, thank you.

I checked the manual and it just mentions Singer Motor Oil, nothing about lube.

I found it through a Yahoo Group, there are definitely no Featherweights for sale up here.
