I think if I bought one online I'd send the link to the person to make sure they knew what to do.
Also, for parts I've used both www.221parts.com and www.featherweight221.com. I bought a new foot pedal (with plugs and all ready to go!) and feet also from parts site. Then from FW221 site I've gotten parts and his book/dvds. I highly recommend the book and dvds for maintenance, etc. Went to Dave's maintenance class here in WA (he's the FW221 site owner) and he's very good in explaining how to take care of your baby.
Yes, we are very lucky to have him in the area (I'm about 37 mi from where he lives). I found him by chance when I bought my machine at a fabric store in his town (owned by the woman who invented Omnigrid rulers--now retired). They had a post on the wall about his class held in the store and they highly recommended I take it to learn how to care for the machine. Best money I ever spent!! I also have a couple other Singers and the info helped get them in shape.
