THE PAPERWORK
Two original Singer service tickets came with this machine. The first is a repair order from December 1977 recording a tune up, major cleaning, and motor brush and belt service. The second is a Singer sales ticket from January 1978. Documented service history on a Featherweight is uncommon and both are photographed so you can read them yourself.
CONDITION, please read
It runs and sews. I ran it and filmed it.
What I can tell you from inspection: the gold scrollwork decals are bright with light wear. The case shows surface wear and scuffing to the exterior but both latches and the handle work. There is no case key.
The two prong power plug is a replacement and is not original Singer. The cord may be a replacement as well, and the wiring has not been professionally inspected. Any machine this age should get a cleaning and an oiling before heavy use, and I would have the cord looked at by someone who knows what they are doing.
Priced as a running, unserviced machine. If you want a specific close up of the decals, the bed, the tension assembly or the wiring before you buy, message me and I will take it.
