Kenmore Tri Span 88
Husband bought this for me at an estate sale yesterday for $50.00.
It has all 30 cams, an owner's manual and it's in a cabinet with a little stool that has storage under the seat.
I had to screw the stitch width regulator back on.
The light bulb socket is stuck!
Other than that, everything seems to work okay-I just have kind of a learning curve on using a machine with cams...

Yep.
Can't find a better man.
But the sewing machine is a bit daunting with the cams and all of it. Yikes!
I've heard that once you get all of the adjustments down that it's truly a stellar machine.
It is the quietest one yet and makes a beautiful stitch but it's so complicated
Whoever had it took very good care of it though

My husband got the socket cleared and I picked up a new bulb for it
I opened up the little door that covers the bobbin winder and it looks like it has a new belt and bobbin winding tire
I had to go back and return an extra box of cams I found though
There were three sewing machines at this estate sale and the extra box of cams went to one of the other machines
I haven't been able to goof around with this machine very much as it's been a very busy weekend
I like having a cabinet though
Never had the cabinet before just tabletops and carrying cases
I bet this will be easier on my back.
