This machine almost made it into the exclusive condition 9 Club.
But, on close inspection, there’s the very slightest nick out of the rear decal on the extension table. It’s something you probably wouldn’t see without a close inspection.
The machine is otherwise certainly top class with superb high-gloss paintwork and just the very lightest of the inevitable pin marks to the base.
Chrome is perfect, of course, and just another thing that goes towards making this a superb Freearm Featherweight able to grace a collector’s shelf or just a seamstress’s workroom.
And, yes, like all my 222s it will have a totally-rebuilt 110 volt motor ready to plug in and sew, with two-year guarantee.
Good condition original box with no odor.
Machine comes with a range of attachments/feet, a bound photocopy of the original full-size handbook and a packet of Schmetz needles. Fully cleaned inside and out, serviced and sew tested before leaving the workshop. Electrically tested for your safety. Pictures are of the actual machine. Any bright marks are from the flash - all flaws are always described in full.
Price includes comprehensive insured air shipping to your door.
