Okay, so I saw a Featherweight last night in class. I know, it's not a 301 - but this is the first time I have seen one of these vintage machines in person. I fell in love with it! Love the way it looks! I don't know when, but someday I would love to own one of these machines. Well - I guess the when will be when the price is right.
I will want to find one that doesn't need a lot of work done (rewiring and such) - because that isn't something I really want to have to do.
