Hello all,
A friend asked if I cold fix his great-grandmothers rocking chair. She died in 1941 and the chair was found hanging on the wall of his great-aunt's barn. He said that all but 2 of his g-grandmother's pictures shows her sitting in that chair. He goes to estate sales and recently purchased a Kenmore #158.14001 for $35. Knowing nothing about sewing he asked me to look at it for him. The machine was in excellent shape, but the stitch length knob would not budge and showed signs of pliers being used on the plastic knob. He offered me a deal, try repairing to preserve the chair and in return I could have the Kenmore. I had to fabricate the center piece of the back and fix a few cracks. My goal was to preserve not total restoration of what was there. Deal or no deal
