Cams for the Coronado
Hi, I'm sorry to say, I have never found cams for this machine. I can only straight stitch with it. So, it sits on display in my sewing room. Cheers, Barb

I'm brand new to this forum, I've mostly just read comments on some of the vintage machines. If I'm asking in the wrong place bear with me while I try and figure this out, ha ha! Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for responding! I just took a chance on a set of cams off of eBay... we shall see... all the measurements seem like they'll work. They look similar to a set I saw on here somewhere that were in a Dressmaker machine. The cam mechanism in the Dressmaker looked identical to the one in my Coronado. Stay tuned, I'll let you know if they work... or if I just blew $20 😆

I would love to see a thread where we all post photos of cams and talk about what machines they go to so when cams without machines or vice-versa show up we can have some idea how it all works together.
I tried to flip one in each set to show the back whether it has a hole or a slot.
-The blue ones I don't have a machine for but have seen them listed on eBay for an Edemco. I'm not sure really.
-The red ones fit the White 6477 I sold but she had no need of the cams so they are homeless. I wonder if they fit other machines?
-The 6 black ones are Elna cams and there are plenty more--I love these! They fit my Supermatic as well as my SU
-The last black cams fit my White 651 which is the same look and user manual as a Pfaff 239. They are double sided cams.

The first photo is my current collection, and the second is my duplicates, an accident of trying to buy individuals that come in lots! If anyone has a similar collection growing or has need of any of my duplicates, please let me know.
Finally, there's just an awesome resource for Singer cams on the following page -- I especially love that it tells you which cams came standard with which machines: https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/pattern_cam_list/
