Singer 222K Featherweight - Servicing and Assessing

This fabulous Featherweight Singer 222K sewing machine is due for a service. I show the assessment and servicing process in this video.

I come across a couple of minor issues when servicing this machine.

There are a couple of differences between the 222K and the 221K models, as explained in the video.
