I just got my first featherweight off ebay today for $235 plus shipping. It was supposed to be in "excellent" condition. However, when it came, the cord was very frayed and had exposed wires. My husband tried to fix it, but the cord was so brittle that it began crumbling. Needless to say, we are trying to get another cord before we can even see if it works. It's also a little junkie looking on the inside. May just need to be cleaned. I just emailed LostN51 to see how to pick someone to service it. The ebay seller did say that he would take it back if I can't get it to work but it's such a pain with all of the shipping and waiting. I am printing a manual off the internet now to figure out what attachments I have. I also will need to order bobbins. I'm hoping when I get a cord and if the machine will turn on that I can get it tuned and working. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
