I love my Vintage Featherweight. It is older than me! (you can check the 'age' by the serial number.) I'm going tomorrow to look at a 99 model for a good price near me. Its the Featherweights big sister. I even found an add on crank, so I could use it camping or if the power goes out. I have heard the new ones are not worth the money.

The grande ol Featherweights have been around, what, 50-70 years and most with a little work are up and running smooth as silk. Now, plastic, with plastic parts, how many years do you think they will last? Yep, will take our two "old" Featherweights over a new one anyday.
