Is the flaking a sign that it should be replaced? Thanks in advance for any info you can give me!
I have a 1948 Featherweight that was also doing this. There is a Featherweight Yahoo group that I joined to learn everything about mine. You can also search differant topics to read what had been previously asked and posted. Hope this helps.
