Anyone know about how much a 1975 kenmore in cabinet and extra's cams, book would be worth approx? I know it is one owner and rarely ever used. I know of one going onto a garage sale soon and wondered what a fair price would be. Thanks in advance.

I've seen these for anywhere from $30-$50. Sometimes less. I see folks on Craigs List asking for more, but they don't sell....

This is exactly the range in our local area. Any higher than that do not sell. Good luck with your purchase! Do post photos when you get your machine.

Thanks, my SIL has one to sell, I don't need another but I could be tempted. A friend is looking for one though

If it's similar to the 1802/1803/1914 series of machines, you should stay away from it. It will be such a beautiful free-motion quilter that you will cry. And then you will have a new machine in your collection. ;)

My 15's get used more for quilting, but only because the throat area is bigger. The Kenmores (1802/1803 & Lady Kenmore 89) are actually better quilting machines. I don't know why, but I suspect it's the orientation of the vertical bobbin - facing you instead of facing to the left.

So stay away from it... if you go to her garage sale, put a blindfold on.... :mrgreen:
