Default Looking for these cams...

I have a beautiful Kenmore 117.740 in a nice desk I am keeping for my personal collection but I still need the cams. I was able to snag a pic from the internet of the cams so I at least know what they look like. Here is the pic of the cams I need and of Joy. So named because she was so happy when I brought her home. This set was pictured in a plain little box of just a few cams so maybe there are more in a larger set? They have letters, numbers and the writing is bold white so they are fairly easy to identify. Hopefully awaiting any replies...

You might look at the White board. That looks like a White model 651 badged as a Kenmore, but the 651 is a zig zag automatic. White made all the Kenmores for Sears over a period of 30 years up into the 50's. Where do you put the cams? I have a Kenmore from the late 60's and it has a hatch on the top. Maybe the whole top of your machine opens up ??.

Yep, it is a clone of the 651. I just found one on ebay.
It is the front badge in the middle of the machine with the large K that opens. It is a really nice machine.

I found one on Ebay and now I have a photo of some different cams to search for that might fit. The auction is way too high to even consider for me and the machine is not nearly as nice as mine....sigh. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-White-Se...-/121165701950
