Thread Take up Lever on 221
Looking to find a thread take up lever for my featherweight. It just came today in the mail, and it was broken off. Any ideas where to find one? I think from the exploded parts guides it is the part# 45821.

Try April's http://www.april1930s.com/index.html e-mail her as she carries a bunch of parts not listed. She's helped me get parts for my 301's.

janceejan,
You might also try:
The Featherweight 221 Factory: http://thefeatherweight221factory.com/
Thayer Rags: http://thayerrags.com/
TIP: Leave the old part in place UNTIL you get the new part. Then photograph the assembly when the take up lever assembly would have the arm at it's highest position. When you instal the new part make sure it goes in exactly like the old one, and that all the parts are oriented the same. If you don't get it right you could have tension problems that will not be fixable.

This is exactly why I am afraid to but sewing machines off eBay, you never kow what shape it will be in when you receive it. I try to stay with local on them.
