I think these old machines find me because they know I won't scrap them. Finally got the Kenmore 9411 working but the repair man was in agreement of the problem and he smothered it with oil I think which helped it to unseize.
Will sew straight and now zig zag but not full working top button pattern Should be OK to take and leave for my charity sewing group at least. For some reason I fell in love with this machine. I'm over a dozen machines and hubby is loosing patience but this week was offered another old Singer --model ?.
