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!
