Mechanically this machine is excellent. It runs quietly and sews a very nice stitch. It does however have a few cosmetic challenges.
- The decal in front of the throat plate is worn.
- The presser foot take up lever has worn chrome. It is very smooth but worn.
- There is a dent in the flip up bed caused by the face plate thumbscrew. It is very difficult to show the dent in a photograph but it does show in some of the photographs. There is a dent. The thumbscrew now has a bumper in place.
The Featherweight does run quietly and it sews a nice stitch.
The photographs are of the machine for sale.
