Dave McCallum is absolutely wonderful and well know for restoring Featherweights. He will answer questions on the phone (yes, a real person on a real phone) and spend time with you. He has written a book and made a very professional DVD - right now free shipping too. From experience I can tell you this is the best money you will spend for your FW. My FW was like your mother's - after some hours of elbow grease and encouragement from Dave, I absolutely love my FW, and I did it all myself. I did not know about anyone else, and with the above info from Dave, I would not hesitate to sell mine for $900!!! and know I was selling a good product. That's how much I love my "Miss Kay"! Treat yourself in memory of your mother. She would be so proud of you!
