I have welded several Featherweights and everyone of them has been different but so far I have not had any run off and leave me so to speak. And I have welded Aluminum and Stainless for many,many years!

Ok, the 201 is indeed awesome....but how about the 15 series...are they close? What I'm trying to decide here is if my two 15-91s will do or should I get busy and find myself a sweet little 201?

Billy, can we replace missing clearcoat or does the Liquid Gold do the job? What about using a car wax, or would that have a negative reaction with the paint?

But you can use the Liquid Gold and it will hide a lot of the crazing and the missing varnish that is on the machine. It will not hurt the decals and it gives it a high gloss.
I think it is wonderful that you strayed from Singers. There were so many wonderful machines made during that era and each and everyone of them were very unique and offered innovations that the other didnt.
Come this Sunday I will have my second Non-Singer thanks to Charlee!!! I will have in my possession a pretty W&W D9!

Billy, if I hear from McCall you will all get pictures here. I saw a girl from Millis was interested, too. Maybe she would like to go with me? I am WAY behind on my reading==trying to catch up! I LOVE this thread. It is FUN. I have just bought a red eye off ebay (in poor shape), I own an old FREE in a damaged parlor cabinet, and my FIRST LOVE a Singer from 1967 with cams and everything that still runs like a top. Of course I will post pics when I can. And of course I have a Viking #1 and Huskylock serger and a Janome10001 and a Janome 6600P. Now that I am here I know I am NOT the ONLY Crazy!
