That's funny 'cause a Red Eye was what I wanted to begin with but still don't have one. Then, I decided that I wanted a Featherweight and still don't have one of those yet either. I'm fixing up a Domestic from 1876 for my history buff granddaughter and am almost done. The wood is/was so fragile in some places that I was a bit anxious. It was loaded with dirt and had been in a warehouse for who knows how long. I keep watching for that FW for myself. It is so nice to know that there are others out there as much of a 'machine-aholic' as I am. I do love my VS-2, 128 and 99HC like they were my own kids. I've got others but those are "special".

The only problem is that I've already gotten all the machines that were on my first wish list but I still see more that I would love to have.

I still search CL almost every day but now I am only looking for the real bargain priced machines. I got a Featherweight for $75.00 on CL (plus the carry case, etc) . It wasn't even advertised as a FW but I recognized it in the picture.

Too bad you don't live closer... I could fix you up with a redeye or two... Honestly I like the newer 66s with reverse.
