Unless I'm missing something here, I did not see a table for one of the old featherweight machines. You would need to have a removable section for their beds. Might work for the 222 freearms as that one does have a removable bed. If anyone checks them out and sees one, please let me know.

They say good things come to those who wait. Well, I waited and finally received my birth year FW (1952) in today's mail. She (I think I will name her CeeCee) is in absolutely awesome condition. She is in such good condition, I am trying to see if she has been repainted. The bed does have some scratches but they are minimal. The manual's pages are yellowed so it looks vintage and the case as well as the machine have a somewhat musty odor. I do see that the plug that goes into the machine is rubber, so that means the foot controller has been rewired, but that is ok. All in all, CeeCee is stunning. And if she is in original condition, she was never used much. I am so excited to have her. She sure is in better condition than I am :D :D

Here is CeeCee and her case. She is a good looking 59 year old little lady! These pictures are from the auction, and they really do not do her justice. The seller described her as "super nice". She is better than that. I will try and take better pictures.

She is beautiful!! I don't think I have ever seen one with the accessories in such good condition. I have had my featherweight only a month and really have enjoyed sewing on her. I finally got a machine cover made this weekend. Anne

My FW is also names CECE after the sales lady at the thrift store where I bought her. and she is a 1951 also.
My next one is being mailed today. DH will be surprised when it just shows up. LOL
One of the latches is broken on the case, on the one I am getting, any suggestions?
