I own a FW 221. She goes with me to quilting classes because she doesn't weigh much and she sews so beautifully. I paid 000.00 for her. My brother had moved into a apt where the previous tenants used her as a door stop and forgot about her. She was in a bad way when he gave her to me. But I cleaned her up and had her tuned up. And I almost lost her. I took her to my local repairman who obviously fell in love with her, he told he was just junk, needed parts that I would never be able to find. With tears in my eyes, I said I would take her home and use her as a door stop. But then a friend told me that thru our local Joanne's I could probably get her tuned up for 20.00. She has been appraised at 350.00. I'm glad my brother gave her to me and that I have kept her all these years. Her name is a Essie.
