Thank you for the comments. Yes it is a Kenmore. I found this machine a few weeks back. We just had to build the new cabinet. It was in repair shop about two weeks. They did a real nice job with it. I just ordered a swing away binder attachment for it from sailrite.

In the end it cost more than it would have been worth to someone else. But the seamstress at Tactical Taylor told me "as long as it's all metal gears and you have a walking foot, you are good to sew Cordura". I sew a lot of mil spec fabric.

This machine does not take the cams. It does however do a few zigzag stitches. The machine is in the cabinet now, so I think I'll use it later tonight.

Picked this up last week. Works great needs a little cleaning, but it does sew nice. All of this was $50

What a great find. It is good to take this in for a complete cleaning and adjusting. You did a very good job with painting the cabinet. Now it is time to enjoy your new toy!
