If you flip them over theres the second side. Theyre two sided cams. On the machine you can switch it from straight to zigzag then it specifies a number one or two. :-)

Okay, I noticed they looked like double cams in the pics. What do yours look like on the opposite side? Like my pic I posted? Thanks for the help, Appreciate it.

Here's six of the 9 cam's i previously posted above, it wasn't until after I had taken the photo that i had found 3 more cam's hidden in the cabinet. LOL Any way here's 6 and an album link:

If you look at the top right of this photo you can see the side view: http://i.imgur.com/9oz2STx.jpg

I had posted a photo album of my Copper Colored Kenmore before. It looks like the blue one there's a few cosmetic differences, mostly the shape is slightly different. Copper Kenmore Album: http://imgur.com/a/sYF8a

Hope this helps.

Maybe the whole top of your machine opens up ??.

That was fun. I loved looking at all of the pics. It really did help especially with the sizing of the cams. I didn't think the top hat was that tall. Your copper color machine is a newer model than mine and just as pretty too, hopefully they take the same cams. Thank you for all of the help.

They actually do take the same cam's I have a blue machine like yours. It's missing one of the threading guides. I found both their cams are identical.

Neat machines. I like the side opening door and vertical cam arrangement. Double-sided cams are pretty cool too. Part of the fun for me is all the different ways the manufacturers came up with to accomplish the same goals on these machines. Now it's all done with electronics and plastic and isn't nearly as much fun to me.
