I vote for a Kenmore also. My "Kenny" has been going strong for 40 years plus. My parents bought it when I was 11, not much "work" was done on it until the kiddies came along when I was 21 - and has been going every day since. All three of my kids sew - the 2 boys included! A true workhorse! It's specs are: Sears Kenmore 1400 ZigZag Sewing Machine, Model 15814001
I also managed to find a walking foot for it - at our local Sears - for $20.00! :D
