Kenmore 117-959
Hi, all! I now own a fairly plain looking Kenmore 117-959. I bought it because it came in a beautiful solid wood cabinet which I am hoping to put another machine into. It is much different than any of my other machines - fortunately there seems to be a lot of info on the net about this model. They sell on eBay for around $50, so I know it's not a big score, but still fun.
So, before I plug it in and try to sew with it I want to oil it up properly. I bought some Tri-Flow because it's been recommended on this site quite often, but I want to know - do I use it in place of sewing machine oil in all the oiling spots, or is it only for certain places? Dumb question, I know, but I don't know a darned thing about fixing machines of any type!
Do any of you have one of these? What do you think of it? Also, does it run just with the knee pedal or can it be converted to run with a foot pedal?
I took pictures but am unable to upload them for some reason. So frustrating! It's worked before, but the Quilting Board is unable to upload these photos.
Thank you!
