They are wonderful. Saw ad online in 1992..Wisconsin Sewing Machine Repair shop got one in from some kids whose grandma had died. They found a FW 221 in closet. All the accessories were still wrapped in tissue. Carrying case perfect, machine used very little. I called the shop told them I wanted it..he said mail me $50.00 and it is yours. The FW arrived FedEx 2 days later before he even got my check. When I called about "that", he said anyone willing to pay $50 for that old thing was bound to mail their check. She is a jewel and sews perfectly.
