I also have a Kenmore machine that I bought at a garage sale that was my aunts. Bought it thinking my daughter might want to sew with it......NOT...she used it for a desk to do her scrap booking. The cabinet got water damaged but everything else looks good yet. I have no idea if it still works but I do want to clean it up and see if it'll work. The machine is over 50 yrs. old. My aunt died at age 93 I think about 8, 9 or 10 years ago......
