Wellsir .... I've had this sears kenmore sewing machine sitting in my attic for over 30 years ... I have no idea how long it was sitting before then. It is not my machine ... a room mate left it back in the 80's. I know absolutely nothing about sewing or sewing machines.

I find that this is a vintage machine ... 158.1200 ... it was completely frozen ... I found out how to oil it and freed it up ... but now I am having trouble with the bobbin winder mechanism ... the spindle is frozen. I tried oiling it, but looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to take it apart to clean and oil it.

I'm sure as I go along to get it running again I'm going to be seeing issues with it that have to be corrected. I'm hoping I will be able to find someone on this forum that can help me get this machine running again. I have several things I would like to be able to mend with this machine. I'm guessing the vintage machine forum is the best place to look for help.

Thanks for reading my post.
