I had a white , gave it to my niece because 2 different dealers told me in was worth $125.00 at the most. Mine did have a white and light green case and might be harder to find then the black case.

Hi,Join the featherweight group on yahoo. They have many knowledgeable people who can answer your questions and also tell you where the best buy on things for the featherweight are. I know you can replace a case for less than that.

You might go online and go to Sew-Classic (in Brunswick, OH) and see if Jenny can help you out (use the contact area). She has been a great help to me on the purchase of products needed for the vintage Singers (my grandmothers, my aunts, and now my own little featherweight). Sorry about the purchase being in such sad state.

It will probably cost more to repair it then the purchase price was. I would let it go and wait for another one. White ones are more rare but they are out there.

Since its an antique, look for others comparable to your on Ebay and other antigue sites and price accordingly. I've seen them on ebay for over $600. Since they damaged both the case and the machine, I'd go for the highest estimate. You can usually get an antigue dealer to give you a price for one of those at no charge.

the quote for the box you rec'd is unfortunetly the right price but ask billy (lostn51) about the damage repair. He may be able to help. Otherwise, enjoy your fw, i have an white one too.
I also have a repairman here but he doesn't like the white ones to work on for 1 reason or the other....

I'd have to agree and request my money back because there are many more FW's out there! So sorry this happened to you.

Good luck! It is disheartening to have a glitch when you were ready to sit down and sew. Perservere and things will work out.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope it all works out well for you.

Did you save the box it came in? I hope all turns outwell.Take pictures!
