I am going to look at this featherweight tomorrow night.
They wanted $250 but said I could have it for $200. Should I buy it?
as long as the wiring is good/sound, no cracks, splits, etc. and the bobbin housing is there...it should be great for $200!

I'm going to take along fabric and thread. I don't need it but I have never actually seen one and every one on the board thinks they are great. I can afford to buy it. I hope it turns out to be as good as it looks. Thanks for your comments.
remember it threads differently!

I agree, paid more than that for each of mine! Always handy, will outlast my fancy-schmancy computerized machines for sure, and will make lovely keepsakes for my children. Plus FUN, cute, dependable, and make perfect stitches.
