Well my Dad an I have had this gag for years that i would get it but he will take it out and play with it and then he doesn't want to give it up - kind of a family joke - any way my mom and I decided to go to the junior league thrift store ...

well we are looking around and she comes over and says go back and look on that shelf back there and see if it is one... I knew exactly what she meant - $25 dollars later I had a feather weight 221 no case but pluged it in and it worked great, paid the local feather weight guy at a show to go over it for me and we bought an after market case which looks very close to the orginal and a coupel of weeks ago we went by his booth at another show and he had all the feet so I have a perfectly working feather weight that I pretty much got fr a steal now my dad is happy cause I quit bugging him Not really 8-)
