Kenmore 158.75 info & Models higher than 158.50?
None of my Kenmore sewing machines are listed on the Sears Archive list (has 14 pages and stops at model 158.50). I have 3 low-shank models: 158.54, 158.85, 158.88 (aka Trispan 88).
I'm going to see a 158.75 this weekend and wondered how it compared to the other 3 (i.e. needle position, shank style, cams, etc.)? I tried Google and searched here but didn't find anything specific. It looks as if the bobbin faces left rather than to the front, like the rest of mine.
Also, is there a more comprehensive list of information that extends past the end model 158.50 of the Sears Archive list? I'm interested in manufacture dates, compatible accessories/models and maybe original cost when they were new, etc. I've been on various Yahoo groups but they just list the 14 pages of the Sears Archive that I've seen elsewhere.
Thanks!
