I've read about some of the Kenmore bobbin winders to be problematic in that they are made of pot metal. I have one with a broken bobbin winder. I tried super gluing it, but it didn't work. No problem, as have other machines i can wind bobbins on and also found a sidewinder at the thrift store, that works also. Like Miriam said, likely to be a good machine.
