Carol, I'm new to the board, but I have three vintage Kenmores, a Japanese badged machine, and a HA-1 clone. I've learned so much about these machines here; it's a great resource! It sounds like it might be a 117, and something that's on my SM wishlist. I also live in S.E. Michigan (Metro Detroit area), and if this machine is still available, I'd love to have it!
I would love it, and pet it, and call it Harvey!
