Feathers weights were designed for the adverage house wife to do all their own maintence. These cute little machines are light weight, portable, and all parts are metal, not like the cheap plastic ones of today. The Feather weights big sister the 301 is also light weight, portable and you can drop the feed dogs and FMQ on the 301. I have both and I just love them.

Thanks for all the information that everyone added. It helps to know details just in case we were to run across one at an estate sale or yard sale. :D

The featherweight tables are more rare than the featherweights. If it's in good cosmetic condition, that sounds like a fair price for the table (assuming it also has the metal "cradle" supports that hold the machine in place).
