Needlecraft Model 142-B Automatic ZigZag I bought this on Craigs List in June? and replaced the belt and bobbin tire. It sews fine and is a cool, retro machine made in Japan and is a neat Vintage machine. Problem is, I have too many and I'm trying to thin the herd so I can stop getting the evil eye from hubby. It has some paint imperfections, has one bobbin spool holder missing(doesn't affect anything) and comes with a knee control for a table.
It's a HEAVY machine and if you want it for $30 (I have more in it in parts now than what I paid) you can come and get it. I won't ship because it would be upwards of $45 to do so. Unless you really want it!
I live in the Sacramento, CA area. You can PM me with any questions.

What a cool old Kenmore!
Note...we THINK our hands are clean when we're sewing...look at the stains on the back of the machine that I assume are feeling for the presser bar lever! :)

Also, the sew classic that everyone talks about, is that online or is it a brick and mortar shop somewhere?
Thank you.
Melissa
Sew Classic is an online shop...

I think I read somewhere on the vintage site that 15-91 and featherweight accessories were interchangeable. Can someone affirm or deny that for me please. Ann in TN

I need help again. Now that my 1945 Featherweight is on her way to me, I'm trying to help a friend find a machine for his girlfriend's birth year. Does anyone have a 1958 Featherweight they want to sell? If so, I can pass the info on to him and he can contact you. I'd need an e-mail address to give to him.
Thanks, Janis
