Cost of mailing to Canada should not be much if they are light weight.
That's the problem. The two OSMGs I've been dealing with are either out of parts for me, or moving. I hope it wasn't something I said.
I'll shoot you a PM. I think I have most of the (currently required) parts covered but for a few odds and ends now. I appreciate the help

The problem with some of the new (non-Singer) parts is that they don't always fit, or look quite right (like the "flat" finishes, instead of the nickel plate. And of course, some parts, like face plates are simply not available. But thanks for the recommendation for another trustworthy place to shop for the consumables.

I love April1930s.com. The feature Featherweights, but see what you can find.
I do a lot of window shopping there. She's got a lot of toys, .. uhm,.. items I'd love but are too rich for my blood. Good to know she's good to deal with too.
