I've just tried it out and it's sewing beautifully. Just one thing that I hadn't noticed: the tension discs for bobbin winding are missing. Not a deal breaker as I have another Featherweight I can use to wind bobbins, and presumably I can buy the parts. And the 1960 instruction book is for a 222 - I got VERY excited for a moment then, but mine is definitely a 221!
