Latches can be obtained on Ebay. Put half a cake of Irish Spring or Safebuard soap, still in the box inside the case. Also try airing it out in sunshine, taking care it doesn't get damp or dew during the process. The covers on the cases are a fabric used to cover music amplifiers. It is also available on Ebay. Sorry I forgot the name, but it ends in "tex". You can check with the featherweight users group for more information. Some have covered their cases in upholstery fabric if you don't care that it isn't original. Also, cases can be obtained on Ebay too. I got one for under $50. If the covering is just loose, you can use a decupodge medium, the glossy one safe for dish washers. Good luck.

Just don't get in a hurry in finding or restoring the case. If you are patient, it will turn out okay.

All featherweight boxes smell "musty." I thought it was the motor grease. But it is very familiar. I can smell a FAW in a room before I see it.
