I have one like that. The whitish colored ones are a little smaller then the black Featherweights. The only problem I have found with mine is getting the belt tension just right. The belt tends to slip. I have tried the ribbed and the smooth belts and they both slip. If you find the original white belt on them that is worth as much as the machine!

I have one like that; I found at a garage sale about 10 years ago. It was my first featherlite. It came with a mint green and off white case. Was soooo excited when I got that!!!!

She's a pretty little machine, needs a bit of cleaning up, and the price is not bad. I bought my "Blanche" for $225 including S/H off Ebay. I would ask if it does sew. Just because the motor runs doesn't mean it will sew.

Since they emphasize "as is", I'd ask a few questions before spending the $$$.
