Since the last one (222) I saw was over one thousand dollars, I'd say that is more than a good price! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks, I can hardly wait!!! Hope no one gets there ahead of me. Is that a good price?

The 221 model is less expensive. They don't have the bed that seperates in two peices. They sell for $200 and up depending on condition. I'd grab any featherweight at $100.

I have been watching and reading about featherweights for awhile now and I so desperately want one. Can you believe it I even had a dream about one last night. My turn will come soon. In the meantime I will continue dreaming! :)
