Did you do a search, on this site? They have motors, for some of the models. http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/ken...FUeRPAodemIAAw

If nothing else there are places that can rebuild a motor for you. Check the wires too. I think Bennett made a tutorial for rebuilding a motor. Sometimes just changing the brushes will help - I have a very stuck sewing machine somewhere in my shop - might have a Kenmore motor - I'm not sure what it is. http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...l-t168912.html You can always ask questions.

I'm sorry to hear about your machine. Did you try looking on eBay? When I'm looking for a specific item I do a search on eBay and afterwards I save the search. It gives you the option to have eBay email you automatically when an item you want is listed. It works beautifully that way, you don't have look every day, just wait for an email to let you know when they have a new listing for your item.

I am terribly attached to some of my machines. I am looking at one as I write. They have their own sound and character. If you love the machine, get it fixed. The hell with what it may cost!!!!! They truly have personalities and a replacement will not do at all. Everything is fixable, it just takes time, effort, and of course money but who cares.
