White Featherweight question..
I've had the "white" celery colored 1964 featherweight for a while, but thought I'd use it to start a quilt for the grand daughter who will get it eventually...Recleaned and oiled but My question is about the inside gears and whether they get oil or some machine grease?? This machine has an inside black belt that connects to bottom gears..my BLACK featherweights just have gears period. Not much info in the downloaded instruction book about this particular kind of gearing. What kind of maintenance should I do on this inside black belt setup?? Thanks for your input..

here's the service manual. I'll send you this because I don't know of an internal belt.

Thanks Joe, that's the information I needed...didn't know whether to leave it alone or do some grease on it. I'm going to write that down in the manual I have for this machine, so I'll know it from now on.
