    One problem with that idea. Our camera doesn't use a card. It only has built in memory. I'm waiting for my drill battery to charge before I continue on the deck. Think I'll take another look.

    CD:
    I did not know that Featherweights were made as HC's. Now that is really really cute.

    I bought this one today. Poor yucky thing.



    I'm to this point. I have the bobbin area overnight soaking. It was completely jammed, I had to cut the needle to get it out. I have everything turning correctly now.

    I think I'm going to paint this case the grey color.

    Does anybody know where I can get the spring type spool pins? The rusted solid ones that came off this machine were pretty similar to the ones on a 301. I don't see anything at Sew Classic or eBay (but I might not be searching for the right thing) or sewing parts online.

    The cases look very nice whe reupholstered with paper or faux leather type materials too. They might come in a matching gray color.

    I would go for ebay regarding the spool pin, and e-mailing the vintage suppliers is often worth it. With patience and persistence almost anything turns up. If you can get it off and polish it up, the springs can be replaced. I think they are the same for both the Featherweight and the 301, but I don't know if they will fit your White model.

    These spool springs were goners. Bloated and rusty and crumbling. They came off in small rings.
