feather weight 221

I have a 1954 featherweight 221 machine, sat in it's box needing some tlc. It probably needs a service and needs a new electrical cord I should think. I ran it once and it goes but it is to quiet and smooth for me to use. I was given this a few years ago by a friend who does not want it back. My question is, is there anyone close to the Southampton area in England that would like it ? Free of charge you just have to collect it ! This is a serious offer. I would rather the machine found a loving home than stayed sat in it's box. The box has many of the original accessories including the oil can that came with it. Box smells a bit musty. I don't want the hassle of selling it just would like to see it go to someone who will get some joy out of it.

awwww Melissa ( My friend found the fw at the tip of all places. he opened it up and said it took everything he had not to smile, asked the man in charge how much he wanted for 'the box' the man sort of looked at him as if he was mad and just told him to take it home no charge !

Actually I am not against posting it to Kate, but how do you package up a
sewing machine safely ?
