I know a whole lot of questions but I need help. Thank you for any information you can offer.
The drip pan on the white featherweights was a piece of masonite like 1/8" material. If yours is missing one can be cut. Do not use water to clean the inside of the case, it may be a paper like wallpaper. The outside can be scrubbed with soap and water. I use Dawn dish soap, but other soaps may work. Test any that you intend to use on the bottom of the box. After cleaning and glueing down any loose pieces with white glue, polish with shoe polish.
