Been oiling and greasing this afternoon. Need to clean and shine tomorrow. Needed a new light bulb and two new rubber rings on the bottom of the machine. I still need to fix the latches and today I noticed that the fabric covering on the bottom of the case needs to be replaced as it is completely loose from the case and only partially there.

Found a Featherweight at a yard sale this weekend and paid $10.00 for it. It is in remarkably good condition as is the case except that the pins that hold the upper part of the latch assembly on the case have pulled out. Can someone explain or refer me to instructions for repairing this? Also, I think it needs a new foot pedal as there seemed to be a slight electrical sensation when I plugged it in and touched the fly wheel. I immediately unplugged and plugged in the foot pedal from my personal Featherweight and the sensation was gone. Any suggestions where to find a foot pedal reasonably? I have no sewing shops locally. Thanks, Ann in TN
