I've got my eyes out for a replacement left side cam stack though. They are plastic
and there is a chip out of one pattern. That machine follows the cams so precisely that it actually shows the chip as regular repeating missing stitches.
I doubt if I'll every find such a cam stack, but I'm watching for one.

Joe, Simply astounding about it following the chip as a regular repeating missing stitches. I doubt a new plastic wonder would even still sew with a chip. I only have a couple of vintage machines that do a ZZ stitch - most of mine are straight stitch only which is okay with me. Buried in my machine is a Kenmore with lots of cams and 2 Necchis both of which require cleaning and oiling - not to mention digging out!!
