So, of course I pick up my pace. The lady was selling it for $10 without the power cord; it did have the foot petal cord. She was very apologetic that it didn't have the cord. I told her that is ok, I'll still take it. After I got home, I dug through my discarded motors box and pull out a cord with the correct adapter. I'm in business!

I thank whoever talked about the sewing lid holding the box of attachments. I really dig the way that contraption operates and tucks away nicely.

See Nancy, I now have two machines that I will not be treadling.

OMG!!!!!! You got a 401A for $10!!!!!! Geeze you are the lucky one -- and now you have a feather weight and a Rocketeer!!! Did you get any cams? Monica, you will love playing with that machine! Geeze, you and I will have a matched set of everthing! Except, I have the 503A!

What year is the Rocketeer and what year is your FW?
Nancy

I see you answered that - the Rocketeer is 1951!
