I just found a Barn-Fresh Featherweight & Table
Today I bought an old (probably !950s I haven't looked at the serial # yet) Featherweight that was advertised on local Craigslist. The machine was as dirty as I've ever seen. I have given it a first wipe down with a damp cloth and a lot of ugly came off. I know how to grease and oil the machine but I don't know how to remove 50 year old masking tape. The bobbin case is there but seems to have a spring broken. The table has been stripped and is sound but ugly. Any Ideas about how to approach the issues? Oh yes, I forgot to say the machine & table only cost me $250.
