I forgot, if you think my book will help, I would be glad to copy also for you.

I don't know!!! I actually didn't see to whom I was replying! There was a picture of a machine just like mine with an offer to scan the booklet and email it to someone else and I thought I would get in of the scanned copies. Was that you???? I'll try to go back and find it.

Yes, this is the one to which I was replying. Your machine really does look like the one I got for graduation in 1970. Would love to have a copy of some of the pages, especially explaining the cams. Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies!

I've goggled every site and can't find any reference to a manual for Kenmore 158-17032. I usually have pretty good luck but I know you can find cams on ebay for these old machines. I have two Kenmores, one 1978 and a computer model that really gets a workout. Good luck.

Yes, there is a manuel for the Sears Kenmore 158-17032. I got the sewing machine for high school graduation, and I've kept it all these years. Not computerized, but quite a good machine.
I have the manual, cams, and most stuff it came with. Are you looking for anything special? from, Debbie, Phoenix, AZ

It is a 1973 kenmore model. I have one and will send you a copy of the book if you give me your name and address.

I don't know if this site will help, but try looking here.

Hey quilter, yes you do have a 1973 Kenmore Model 1703. It was manufactured by Jaguar for Sears to be badged as a Kenmore. At the same time Jaguar was also producing machines for White.

I have a chart that dates and tells the manufacturer of the Sears machines from 1934 to 1978(?) saved from some research I was doing for my 1963 Kenmore. So I can date them for you if you want me to.
