Thank you guys so much! I can't wait to tear into it first chance I get. I also have a white featherweight that seemed to overheat the last time I used it, so I have been afraid to do so. Been gonna tear it down and see if the motor needs new brushes. (watched a tutorial long time ago on that). I went to the site referenced above and bought the CD's since that is cheeper than sending even one of them in to the shop. My DH is very handy, I'll have him watch the CD's and see what he can do for it!! Thanks a bunch. Oh, the note in my case from the repair man was that he would suggest I replace the foot pedal, so maybe that is what he was thinking, but I don't know why we would just "suggest" since the reason I sent it to him was the "buzz". You would think he would just replace it. Who knows.
