Thanks for the link kewndt!
I just bought a Featherweight, and am looking into getting it into tip top shape. My controller has some issues too, and I'd like to rewire it, so I'm very interested in opinions on how hard/easy it is to do. I'd like to keep it as "original" as possible.
I'm feeling rather brave since converting an old swag light fixture to standard and installing it myself in my dining room!
Thanks!
