Quest for 221 Featherweight ended with a ?
 

A beautiful 221-1 featherweight just became mine after a twenty-year search. Thrilled does not describe my joy. It has several attachments including a hemmer, ruffler, adjustable hemmer, multi-slotted binder and edge stitcher. It doesn't look like it was ever used. She was born January 29, 1951 and carries a centennial badge.

My few issues are the age of the electrical cord. Is it replaceable and where can I get one if it is? There are a few nicks in the rubber cording.

The other is where to get a replacement light bulb?

I have good oil for those spots that need oil and I need lubricant for the gears. Is Singer Motor Lubricant easily available?

TIA for any info and help.

Congratulations on your new machine. They are wonderful. I have replaced the foot pedal - I ordered it thru "The Singer Featherweight Shop". They have tutorials on how to take care of it. They have genuine featherweight parts. But there are a couple other sites I have used "Singer Featherweight Supply". I can't seem to find the other one that I have used. I hope someone will post it because it has some better prices.

Congrats! I also have a Centennial FW. The cord on mine was bad and I had a local OSMG(al) replace it for me. She said they were readily available. The source Tartan lists or Sew-Classic should be able to help you.

Congratulations on your new baby. I second the Featherweight Shop, they have great tutorials and good customer service.

congrats! the machine and box look pristine

Congratulations, Ube. She is beautiful!

Try the Featherweight Shop.com they sell parts, oil, grease, etc.

Thanks, Tartan. This site has everything I need and more. what a wealth of information. The power cord will be sent off to them for rewiring and they had a lightbulb and grease. I am very pleased.
