I have one of those in my family too. "Oh, just what we need, another machine" is his favorite line. He says the same about fabric.
I have a couple of them too. My mom and she use to sew her own clothes. My sister says "you are turning into one of them", but she doesn't sew at all, never.
At least my husband is cool with it.

I'm not sure what age of machine to hunt though. She got it in the late 40's and I like the scroll plates better. But, I was born in 1952 so it might be cool to have one my age. Then there are the Centennials.

DH is into these old Ladies more than I am. He can't seem to pass any of them up. There are some people I wouldn't want them to know how many machines we have collected just since last May. They would think we were off our rocker.

I keep thinking, one more. I wanted a featherweight, real bad, I now have two. Love love love them. Then I got a 201, even DH says it is great. I just ordered a 99, am bidding on a 66 and lost a 301. I think I might have a problem! LOL

Buslady:
Compare the FW with the 201 as far as ease of portability goes. Doesn't the 201 weigh half again as much as the FW? I'm looking for something to carry on and off an RV.

Think the FW weighs around 11 pounds. And they are sooo cute! :-)

No it is not a vertical feed if it has feed dogs. I tried to find a free manual on line for the Pathfinder, but didn't come up with anything for that machine.
Maybe, someone else has a manual or knows where you can get one for the Pathfinder?
