This is exactly what I intended tell you. You can often buy one of these machines for $25! Even $50 is a steal for one of these old Kenmores. Good luck in your hunt! Sorry, I posted this before I read all the other postings, and hadn't seen that you were able to fix your machine. Hope it runs for another 35 years for you!
