And yet another 221 Featherweight... Over the weekend I was able to get to this little machine and work on it. I had purchased it very cheaply because it was not running. Thanks to Tomilu's advice I got it all greased up again, cleaned and oiled all the mechanical parts, and now it sews like a charm! The grease tubes had very little grease in them and packing them with grease was all it took to get the motor going again. Such simple little machines... I also polished up the case with black shoe polish, which improved it's appearance 100%.
