What's this long singer screw thingy
Just won a 222k on eBay and it came with this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]475654[/ATTACH]
Anyone know what it is? Looks like some kind of clamp for the machine.
The machine wasn't that much of a bargain: 32VDC motor and FC (no transformer included), cracked paint, no accessories and no extension table. It'll have cost around $200 delivered and probably at least another $200 to find parts to make it complete and pretty.

I don't know what that is, but it looks nifty!
Re the motor; is it a 110 motor, and you are in Oz and want a 220? If that is the case, I bet you could do a trade; sometimes NA people get 220 FWs and are stumped as to what to do next. Maybe there could be a win win. You might consider joining the Featherweight yahoo group and seeing if you can do a motor trade?
Congrats on your little stitcher.

I have seen the tables being sold separately...

Not sure, but maybe it's for the Singer Iron, it clamps on the back of the ironing board, and the hook end sticks up in the air, and you hook the cord through it so it keeps your ironing cord up out of your way.
