As an update, I worked on the FW all yesterday afternoon. It had a test stitch piece of fabric under the foot and the stitching on it was so-so. When I took the throat plate off, it was clogged with lint and there were a couple of small pieces of thread stuck in the bobbin area. I cleaned those out and put a new bobbin and needle in. Oiled everything the fired her up. She stitched well with some minor tension adjustment but seemed to be running a bit slow. I took the foot pedal/power cord from my other FW. It was a new one I bought a couple years ago after I got that machine. The new FW seemed to run faster with that foot feed so I'll probably be ordering a new one from the Featherweight Shop or Nova. It was really fun cleaning it up and oiling it. I watched some videos from the FW Shop while I was working. I learned a lot I didn't know!
