Kenmore. 117-959
I am going to try this again, just bought this, have manual and attachments, need motor and motor pulley. It needs a lot of work and cleaning up. Any help on parts would be greatly appreciated. I am attaching Pic's. I got this for $15.00 Cabinet and all, Granny

WOW! $15.00--What a deal! I've never seen a machine like that, before. Have you tried joining the Vintage Kenmore Yahoo group? I'm sure some of the members will be able to help you in your search.

On your last picture you show the motor with a little rubber on the end - that is what drives that machine. You can get some shrink stuff at the hardware store's electrical department to go on the end of that - replace the rubber. Does the motor try to go at all??? Motors can be rebuilt if necessary. Bennett has a tutorial on rebuilding a motor. There are motor rebuild shops that can rebuild your motor if it you don't want to do it. Very mid-century modern looking machine and table. They must have been trying to get them more efficient about that time.

Actually, the first motor I pulled apart to clean as an experiment was off a White, and was probably built just like yours. I have plenty of pics if you are interested. It comes apart pretty easy if you like to tinker with stuff at all.

I am interested, I have got to try. That is how I learn, just dive in and give it a try. Hope I can get it up and going, it looks like a real interesting machine. I think $15.00 was well spent here. Thanks
