Pics of my new featherweight :) (picture heavy)

First, a question--are there videos showing how to oil and lubricate the machine and how to load the bobbin into the bobbin case?
ok the pics:
You can see them bigger here at flickr:

this is the stuff that came with it (feet, etc)

these are the trims that came with it. They must be pretty old.

so from these pics does it look like it was worth it? ($135 plus tax)

I am no expert, but I would say you definitely got a good deal. I believe you can download a service manual online for free. That is how I got one for my FW.

Manual is online in 3 parts, this is the link to part one, I think you will be able to find the other 2 from this page.

It was a great deal. I have had a few with chips like that on the bed. I took model paint and filled the chips in. It makes them almost un-noticeable. At least they are less noticeable. Enjoy!! I am sue you will love it.
