I'm biased, I like the black ones best. I just think they're the prettiest, with all the blingy decals and chrome and the shiny black body.
But if I found a white or beige one for a good deal, you can bet I'd snap it right up! I'd like to play with a white one just to see all the differences. But I'm really in love with my little black beauty, wear marks and all.

Too bad it doesn't have a few more photos that are more close up. Nice day for a drive and if it's all good, not a bad price. They want between $300.00- $450.00 down here with attachments (some).

I could drive out to see this machine. It's not that far away.
From just looking at the post, do you think it's worth the price?
Of course, I've always imagined "my" Featherweight would be black...and what I really want is a potted-motor 201 (to give to my niece!).

Those are eBay prices....the white ones are gear driven so more costly to fix whereas the black ones are belt driven, more preferably. I had a gorgeous white one that I sold to an FW repairman for $150.00....think I should have sold it for way more but at the time that price satisfied me. I didn't care much for sewing but it was pretty decent. For your neice..u r better off finding a 301, 201 at a more decent price
