Default The classic reason that Featherweight owners sell 'em.

for $100 on CL today, I picked up this 1934 FW. The reason the lady was selling it, thread jams, caused by that little "finger" on the bobbin base/hook not being in it's proper home postition under the needle plate. She had no accessories, and the case is a little rough, but her needle plate and bobbin area are pristine, and she sewed just fine after a wee bit of TLC.

I didn't feel bad about the deal, because she told me she had been doing garage sales, buying treadle machines, selling the drawers and her son would scrap out the rest of the machines. Such a waste, couldn't you at least make a plant stand out of the irons?
