I have 2 featherweights and love the stitch it makes. I bought the 1st one from ebay and a cousin came to visit one day and gave me her mother's machine and the card table that was purchased with it. After friends saw mine I have helped 5 others find a featherweight for themselves mostly through ebay--one was one of those "rare finds" for a friend and the man wanted $40.00 for it-I had a $50.00 bill and asked if he had change and he looked and he had $20's but nothing smaller. I told him that was OK-take the the 50 and I'll just tell my friend that is how much it cost. He told me it doesn't have a light bulb or needle. It had a very good original manual and all the attachments. My friend was blown away. :>)
