    Take a look at Ebay. I was in there today and a few looked like no one was bidding on them and they were close to closing, somewhere under $200. I am lusting after the world's most complete set of a 222 + practically accessory know to womankind for only $1995, it's really a bargain considering she has stuff I've never even seen!!! Drool, drool,drool

    I gave less than $200 for my FW with the case, lots of feet, original manual and in FANTASTIC shape off E-bay!! Keep looking and you'll find one eventually.

    If I close my eyes, I can still see my Mother sewing on hers in the 1950's...............

    I'm not sure what city he was calling from. Turns out his and his wife's families are from MS and they're coming here over the Easter Holidays so he listed in MS's Craig List.

    eBay does have a lot. I have 15 on my watch list now...that's sad! Usually though the top ones end up going way over my budget.

    (sigh)

    Why am I not rich? He wants $500 for the 221 and $975 for the 222K. :( with tears!

    Edit: He has 3 origiinal FW cabinets, too!

    Another Edit: I meant for this to be in Main, not Classifieds but in my amazement,I goofed!
    Go for the one with the best $ ~~~my singer repair/ restore of singers also told me the cabinets for a FW are very rare!! Just do it you will not regret It!!

    The 222 sounds like it's in line with what they are running. I paid more for mine a couple years ago and, cheap as I am, didn't suffer a minutes worth of buyer's remorse.
