Thanks! I really didn't think I would, so it's turned out to be a lovely surprise!
I just got a good deal on a white 221- $150 with case, picking it up tomorrow am. Some paint loss on the front edge, but the case looks good. They go for $350 plus here (upstate NY). And I'm getting a 3 drawer Howe treadle base this weekend- no machine, but I'm saving it from being made into a table! Don't know if it has the bobbin winder.
That sounds exciting! I love the look of the white FW's. What will you do about the paint loss (if anything)? My 27-2 has that along the front edge as well and I guess I've wondered if it's a bit rough for sewing, although I'm not sure how to easily smooth it out without stripping and repainting.
