There's a lot of good info about the featherweight, plus the site has some machines for sale that will give you a good idea what to look for on eBay. They also sell parts and manuals if your doesn't come with one. I am still working on getting the musty smell out of my case, but scrunched up newspaper, changed out daily, seems to be working.
