would an automotive body shop have any special glue/epoxy?

Have you checked with local sewing shops? Sometimes they have old parts they have saved from unfixable machines.

I have not checked with any body for parts yet. Still sticking pretty close to home. Money is short too so I've not been doing any running unless absolutely necessary.

Would one of these Kenmore ones fit? They look very similar, $10-$20 each with shipping

Joe some time when you are in Indy we will look at a couple junky old machines in the vast dark places...

Miriam,

Sounds like a good idea. Got the machine to sewing, ran a test of all 30 cams and it did well. I've heard some not so good things about the Emdeko machines, but this one is working properly.

I'm gonna take some pics of of the machine and patterns now that I've got it up and running.

I can't tell anything from the picture. I think there is a non running plastic wonder in there somewhere. I think I've pulled parts off it on occasion but not a hand wheel. I'll see if it has a plastic wheel or metal some time. That shop needs to be cleaned up. Have you tried to see what other wheels you have that might fit?
