Wow, what a great deal! Years ago I came home and told DH I was going to start looking for a featherweight (I meant an old 221) and he went out and bought me that year's new model (2002 I think). Silly man! Anyway I also used it in the motor home and it worked good. I know he paid much more for it than you did yours though. I'm now letting my DGD learn to sew on it and will give it to her when she's ready for it since I did eventually find the 221 I wanted. Don't you love a story with a happy ending? I hope you enjoy yours!
