I bought the book, "The Featherweight and I" by David McCallum, and I was able to fix the tensioner on my 301 just by reading his instructions because the FW and the 301 are quite a bit alike. I never would have thought that I could do it!!!!
ETA: 99K's are super HEAVY!!! My dental hygienist gave me her grandmother's 99K and when I went to pick it up I was shocked :shock: at the weight of it.

I will try to do the live chat, but I will be cooking during this time. So, it will be peeks and a quick hello.
But for now...
Happy New Years to all!

I will be in there for a few hours at least until 1 am my time if I can stay up that long. ;-)

The 66 has several orginial bobbins. Both have the orginial boxes of jewelry. All the drawers are full of goodies. Anyway to make a long story short we will pick them up next week. There is so much snow we can get out the driveway with 2 wheel drive truck but can't get back in. Also like Ms Johnny we have two of our granddaughters with us ages 7-10. In the mean time have to find a place to put them.
What!@!!!!!! Where are you located???????? I am speechless! Let me know how you like the Davis Vertical Feed and please post a picture! I am in awe! I don't know what else to say except is there an extra shuttle I can buy@$@#%$$@#%#%?
What luck - good for you! That gives me hope that maybe I can get mine going or at least maybe one day find another one to trade parts with! At least I know they are out there!
