April1930shoppe has them, too. Do you want to clean mine, too? It's not very dirty so it won't take much.

not my pics, links swiped from wefixit These machines take an obsolete needle (Kenmore #49 or Boye 2 1/2) and a bobbin the same size as a 221. Here's a pic of mine naked, oohhh the shame, the shame ...... :). You can clearly see the chain drive on the right: Joe |

Yep, I have one. A Kenmore 120-49. Her name is Betty. I have a video here somewhere of her running without clothes on.

They don't have to hog up all that rain... we could use some here - we got a little shower is all today and not everywhere. We don't mow our grass we just walk on it and it breaks off - well except for the weeds - they thrive.
Melinda congratulations to you and your daughter! What an accomplishment! Nancy |

I just made a new post. I cleaned up 3 machines I picked up at GW and one I had around, came home and just had to do mine. So I shot a few pics. Hope it helps someone. Nancy |

Joe that is so cool! What a great learning tool - to see that naked machine in all her glory! Love it! It is really curious to me to see these different machines that take the 221 bobbin! I did not know until recently that any other machine took the same bobbin as the FW and 301's! That fact seems to have been kept under wraps!
Does she sound like a Harley? Nancy Actually it sounds like a small block Chevy with a race cam. Go to page two of this thread, http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t189987.html the video is at the top of the page. If you have good sound on your computer turn it up. Singer 9w-7, 221, 301, and now this Kenmore 120-49 use the same bobbins. I do sometimes wonder how many more machines use the same bobbin. Joe |

Ok you guys I finally had a awwwwwwwe moment and realized what machine I need to give the granddaughters who sew! I am going to refinish the little oak cabinet - I put in the cargo unit - that the pink Sterling came in, and give that one to the girls. One of the girls is using it anyway - here - making a rag quilt so she is already use to the machine. That machine will be perfect for them! It drops its feed dogs, has zig zag, is a pretty pink for girls, and will sew through most anything! It is a dedicated left hand needle, but that won't matter for what the girl's are doing - making bags/back packs, sun glass cases, hemming/cutting off jeans! It will be perfect and I will feel good about it as I paid too much for the machine - couldn't sell it for what I paid - but, if the girls have it and love it - it won't matter![ATTACH=CONFIG]349932[/ATTACH]
