I boughtt my featherweight 10 years ago for $500 USD I like the idea that I can take it apart and clean, adjust and repair anything that might go wrong with it. I have taken it all over the US in its wood box. It is great for classes. Altho I think some of the new low end (cheap) ones are OK for toting around.
My older sister has had one since the 50s -- she bought it with the ttable and has never used anything else.
It all depends what you want it for

It's supposed to be in excellent condition and sews well.
Any opinions??
