Where did you finally find one?? I am really happy for you. I know you will love it. It is such a great little machine for classes too.

On EBAY. Have looked at a couple dozen and zeroed in on Sally Sue. My husband chipped in on the cost. It was more than I had hoped it would be but she is perfect for me. Been doing the happy dance all evening. Had been checking craig's list and the newspaper and was very disappointed. Only 2 machines and in very poor condition. Made sure to buy from a Top Rated Seller with 100% approval rating on ebay. Didn't want to risk having a problem.

I have two featherweights. One is a 1951 and I use it daily, I have other machines but only use the featherweight. My friend services it for me. Just remember that these have metal gears and need grease along with oil. My first one was bought on Ebay and it came with the grease tube. I love it.
