I have another shaft but I think its going to be easier to replace the whole works.

Have you tried to replace just the shaft?

The 148.xxx series of Kenmore machines were made by Soryu and made in Japan.

Sorry Miriam, its a Kenmore. I must have Singer in the brain, there's one sitting beside the computer. From what I could find out its made by Brother. I need to remove the entire shaft from the body since one of the ears is broken.

Cathy are you feeling better?

Mizkaki 02-14-2014 06:14 PM

Miriam,

Thanks for asking. I'm doing pretty well. But I will say that the my 'golden years' have a considerable amount of tarnish on them. VBG

Don't feel bad - I have a Singer 15-30 from 1892 near as I can tell - I have the tension apart - all but the post - it is stuck in there but good. It has to come apart because it has a broken tension spring to be replaced. The other two stuck screws are the throat plate screws.
