Fix step to build.

Tension dial.
Bought a tension dial from the singer 237. Seems like they use the same parts.
Everything fit well. Here it is!


Next up is replacing the belt and change the motor pulley. The parts will be coming next week.

Update!!!
I received the latest parts. featherweight shop superbelt in white. Red felt pad. Metal motor pulley.



Previous owner had made a pulley and looks mess up.


Attach the superbelt in white and the metal pulley. I will not use the bakelite since it is plastic. Plastic will break.


Here is it.


Next up will be the bobbin winder. The plastic bobbin winder is broken. I will replace it with the metal wheel on the black featherweight. I was able to take it out from the winder itself.

Here is the final build!

Got the Led build, replacement metal bobbin winder from black 221, and white singer sticker.


I tried using heat gun to take off the glue residue but was not working. So i just clean with with a bit of alcohol.

Put the singer stick one! SHINY

Now, on to the bobbin winder. As you can tell, the plastic winder was broken. O i decided to transfer the metal bobbin winder from the black.

Here is the end result!
