Default Advice on featherweight

I just purchased a FW that does not have the hook assembly and needs cleaned before I try it. I do not think I would try to clean it myself and I am watching ebay, etc for a hook assembly ($$ so far). I would appreciate your input on fair prices for the assembly and the cleaning. I want to get "Baby" (yes I named her already) up and running but am watching my budget.
I have been watching this thread for at least a year and any advice will be appreciated.

Does anyone know how to replace the instruction book for a FW? Mine is a 1936?

My 'go-to' website to find answers to FW questions is: www.novamontogomery.com

Hope Nova has posted answers to your questions in her TIP of the Month section. She now has an index which makes it easy to use.

(No, I am not affiliated in any way with Nova Montgomery and her FW business.)
