Congratulations! You will enjoy this great little machine. I bought mine about 7 years ago for a BD present to myself. I do highly recommend getting the book "The Featherweight and I" by Dave McCallum at www.featherweight221.com. I bought this book (also have the DVD) when I got my machine and it is a great book to learn how to maintain the machine yourself. It will tell you also how to get the awful smell out of the box (if your's is smelly like mine was). I am fortunate to live only about 37 mi from where he would have a maintenance class. Another web site I've bought parts from is www. 221parts.com and had great service from him.
