The one that I really want to get is a 222K! That would be one of my machines that would never get used. Now if I had to do a repaint I would use it but if not I would put in in my collection and just look at it every time I walked by.

I paid $500. for mine. It had never been used, but they serviced it completly before I left with it. It works like a charm.
My guy who services me once a year deals with Featherweights as a hobby. He has lots of them, and if you are interested in talking to him I will send his phone no. and name. He would give you a good deal if anyone would.
He is in Carthage, Mo., and it is only 20 mi. from us here in Pittsburg, Ks.
You would love the Featherweight, for lots of reasons!

You can't help but fall in love with them! These little machines are the best. I got both mine (yep 2!) from Craig's list. Paid about $200.00 in great shape. (You'll get hooked real quick!) I was making a flannel quilt and my Janome (Gem) just wasn't doing as good of job on the stitching as I like it to be so I tried my featherweight and it was awesome! It just purrrred and hummmmed all the way. Just as happppeeey as can be! They are the best! Just keep looking and be patient so you get a really nice one!

I got mine on ebay about 3 months ago for $180 with case. It needed cleaning but the scroll work and the machine overall was in excellent shape. I felt I was lucky to get it for that price. I had bid on quite a few before I lucked out.

DH bought one at a yard sale for $75. They thought it was a child's machine. It's a white one with a case. I've been using it lately. The other one, black, we bought at a flea market for $425.00, it has attachment and a case. Both are in excellent condition. I always take old machines straight to a repair shop to be check and oiled.

My husband bought mine from an antique dealer 5 years ago and paid $350. Never had it serviced, runs like a top. I got some estate money in Sept and wanted another one, so I watched them on Ebay, charted the prices for a week. Found out that if you watch to bid on one over the weekend with biding ending in the evening AND if there are other ones up to end bidding close together, you have a better chance of getting one cheep. I grabbed one on a Sat. night for $175. It was filthy when it showed up. Took me hours to clean it and go over it and oil it. The bulb was broke when it came and the tension disc arm was broke and the seller said it run. I took it to a shop to be fixed, emailed the seller and he agreed to pay $25 towards fixing it. So the machine cost me $150 with shipping. I made out. Just watch and ask questions to sellers if machine runs. And sit and watch for one, don't bid until the last 5 seconds and put on the absolute highest you will go, you will get it most likely. There is also a lady and her husband in my area that sells them and she is very trustworthy. If you would like, I can give you her name and phone. This is central PA.

A word of caution-When purchasing one of these machines off the internet or anywhere, make sure it's wired to use in the USA. I speak from experience. You'll freak out when you can't use it. You have to buy some kind of transformer that changes it. It's a real pain. Just my two cents worth.
