I am also looking for a Featherweight for my cousin. I have to shop on the "cheap", so I have to get a very, very good deal! I got mine on a real fluke -- it was at the Goodwill store here in town - paid only $50, and it's in absolute pristine condition. Just needed dusting, oiling, and a new belt, and is fantastic!
Good luck with yours.
