I've got everyone looking for these machines for me, since I'm a fair mechanic, it'll be fun fixing them. And who knows, a FW might show up. Sarah weights 29 pounds and I hurt from lugging her to quilt group.

Thanks to all of you who take the time to post and answer questions.
Once you start finding the vintage machines they will be everywhere...
Don't give up hope. I just found my 2nd FW for $75 at a junk store. She needs electrial work and a good cleaning, but other wise in good shape. Now I want to "find" a white one.
