Actually, Joe, I think she is quite attractive. Something about the design and color remind me of the Kenmore 159.262 I purchased about a month ago for $15.00 at a thrift shop. Mine has a shuttle bobbin and the work space is only 5.5 inches. I have a question for you. When I called the Sears archives they told me mine was made in 1986. Were these machines still being made with a shuttle in 1986? Mine says Made in Japan and has JA47 and JC5 on the underside. Mine works very smoothly and has a nice, even stitch also. (Love your posts, they are most informative.)
