HI! There is probably a Yahoo! group on Kenmore Sewing Machines. As there seems to be one for every other SM type. Just ck their search engine under groups. I have at least 4 KSMs and can also help w/ manuals if you can't find one online for free. The model # and SN will give the key to your machines age. let me know if I can help. Cheers, Cathy in MA
