Just found this and had to join up! I got my FW about 4 years ago. Yes, I have ONLY ONE!! Her name is simply Noir (the french word for Black). I know when I first got it, I looked everything up to find out her pedigree but, its been a while and I don't remember exactly now so I will have to look it up again.
Noir was an ebay purchase and has the scroll plate. She came with a few extras including a buttonholer attachment.
The case is complete but needed the handle replaced. The case also has that weird smell to it that I have been trying to get rid of. I tried Nil-odor and it just made it smell funky with Nil-odor overtones.
The machine itself, I did the entire clean and tune-up myself. I replaced the inner felt pad and the bottom feet. There was a whole laot of thread wrapped around the hand wheel that was dug out.
The foot control is the small button bakolite type but the actual speed control button was broken so it falls out when the control is turned over. It does still work though which is good!
She sews like a dream! I used her all winter in my RV a few years back as well as all summer. She goes to all the quilt classes and retreats I go to. Much easier to transport than my Husqvarna (Viking) #1+.
No picture on this computer to attach, but here is a link to a post I did that shows Noir working in the RV in 2008.
