Just got my 1958 Lady Kenmore model 516-89
I just got my 1958 Lady Kenmore model 516-89 today. It needs some cleaning and looks like I need a new needle thread guide as the old one is not there. Can anyone help me as to where I can find parts for this machine. I plugged it in and the light works and the needle goes up and down ok. I also was able to sew a couple of inches to see how the stitches are.....they were fine, even though I am missing that little part. So thinking this is going to be a good working machine as soon as I get it cleaned up and oiled.
Just need to find parts. Any help is appreciated.

MY Lady Kenmore vintage 1958 ish all cleaned, oiled and working great!!!!!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]499876[/ATTACH]
The only thing is the "needle tread guide" guide is missing. Doesn't seem to affect the quality of the stitches but sort of bugs me. Anyone know where I can find a replacement?????

Just curious, seeing all the fancy built-in stitches, why Sears went to cams in machines that were newer. Cheaper, I guess?
