What a great find and at a more than great price. I thought I did really well when I found one for $125 in very nice condition but it had no manual or accessories.

Think footpedal is about $60.00 on internet, but if you have a damaged machine at home, maybe?? Either way still ahead in the price for singers are very expensive nowadays. People are going back to their oldies machine for they last ever. I found my 1st machine singer in yard sale $10.00 and sold to a quild member $30.00 before I knew to quilt and realize the use of such machine. I regret but live and learn.

Oh my goodness, great find. Congratulations. I have never seen anything that nice at a GW. But, reading this forum one day, I read that a girl who was prowling around in a pawn shop while her husband was there trading or something, and way in the back found this little black case and peeked in to find a FW--the guy thought it was just a piece of luggage, and she held onto it until he charged her something like $20 for it and she floated out of that place on a cloud. Now every time DH and I go by a pawn shop I say, "wonder if they have a FW."

Good for you, If they have something even close here they price it over 100. Sometimes they have older machines that are obviously very broken and they still want a lot for them.

OK, I just fainted but I'm ok, don't worry. I can't believe this! If you ever find another one, I'll give you a commission & a big hug if you'll buy it for me.
PS CONGRATULATIONS!!!
