Finally got the Kenmore home.

Bound up and running like crap.

Pulled the bobbin assembly apart and cleared out some thread and fuzz. Everything else was light fuzz thought the machine.

Plugged 'er in and it spins over a million miles a minute.

Next to the presser foot. Yup, locked up solid.

Little investigating reveals the raw steel part sticking out by the lever has rusted and gone tight int he aluminum case.

Soak it with releasall and tap the presser bar inside the head area. Eventually works free and now works just fine.

Then I soak the rest of the internals in releasall and I'll let it sit overnight.

The rest is just dirty and will clean up fine.

Came with the 7 cams and the little Kenmore box of accessories.

Nice little machine for 20 Bucks.
