I bought another featherweight. This one belonged to a woman I work with. She had more machines than she needed, and this featherweight needed a good home. I will take very good care of it! Why do I need two? It's not a matter of need, it's a matter of want. My first featherweight should go back to the family who originally owned it when I die. This one can stay in my family. I hope one of my kids, quilting cousins, or nieces will want it.
It is in good mechanical condition. I need to have the wiring checked. I would also like to have it painted. This machine is not in as good condition cosmetically as the other one. I don't think it was abused, but rather used a lot.
I have looked online to find someone to paint it, but the most popular featherweight sites I have found online are located on the west coast or in the mid west. Doesn't someone on the east coast paint these machines? I really don't want to have to mail it somewhere. In a perfect world, I could find someone in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina who could paint it for me. I am not up to the job. I don't have the time it would take or the skill to do it properly.
If you have had a featherweight painted, please let me know your experience.

Your Featherweight is a sweet little machine, isn't it. I hope you find somewhere reasonably close by to paint it. I rather like it's well used look.
I hope you can find someone to paint it. Mine came already painted, and, it was done almost 20 years ago.
