I was shocked to see a FW priced at $50 for sale a couple of miles from me this morning. It has a few issues which may cost a bit to fix but I don't think I overpaid.
It was just the machine (no case or accessories) and it has a bobbin case but I believe it will need to be replaced as the little lever is floppy on it. The decals are decent but there is evidence of aluminum rot in a few places. The handwheel is a bit hard to turn and the motor is very slow to move the needle. The power cord may have been stored somewhere else as it's in great shape though!
I'm going to take my time but think I can get it sewing again. I didn't think I'd ever own a FW and now I have 2.
