Is this truly a complaint, or are you bragging about all your wonderful vintage machines?!!!!! :lol: :lol:
Question ---
I have a kenmore 158.14000 - took the head out of the cabinet to clean the machine. Thanks to the gremlins that attack at the worst time, I cannot find the set screws to hold the machine head in the cabinet. Any ideas on where to look for replacements?
You can try ebay or googling Kenmore set screws. I don't know if they're the same size as Singer or not. I'd put some more effort into finding them before buying new ones. WORST case, as I had to do this with one of my machines, you can buy a tap and die set and re-drill the holes to fit common grub screws available at Lowes. But, finding replacements would be cheaper and easier.
If you have another machine in a singer cabinet you can test drive one on that machine. If it works, take it to your OSMG or local hardware store and see if they have one.
