Default My New Vintage Sewing Machine

WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday, I bought a Kenmore vintage sewing machine for $8.00 at a garage sale. It is very clean and with a little oil it sews beautiful. The model # 385 1249380. I think it is about a 1984 model. I don't seem to find information to exactly date it. No picture.

I have the same model and would link the page to the Sear site but they are working on the page until 6 am. Will have to link it later for you.

I used the machine all day today and it is so nice, I never heard of an $8.00 sewing machine that is this condition. Thanks Caroloto for the information. Do you have an idea as to the age of the machine.
Yes nygal, I am thrilled to get it.
