From what I understand, all are for sale and the looking is free. The big question is: Do I take cash or go without any intention of buying? Temptation comes in many forms. :hunf: :twisted:

In what state would this be taking place? I just don't want to feel too bad if it is close enough that I COULD have gone.......
Shemjo; It's in tracy, MO, about 30 - 45 minutes north of KC, MO. This is being held at the county fairgrounds. It's about 3.5 to 4 hrs from you. Yes, I'm enabling.
No thanks, but it IS tempting!
I am still having trouble posting!

Does anyone here have a sears kenmore 158? I know it is not vintage but I am wondering if you think it is worth it to buy a new tension knob for $19.99 &shipping. Any thoughts?

I dated my Spartan and it says December 11, 1959. Ok, then site says for model 99K-185K-192K. What's up with that? How do I find out which one I might have?
I have tried to find something on a kenmore I have with a model number of 148.273 Serial number 08293. I pluged it in last weekend and nothing happens, so this one will probably be taken in to the shop.
Thanks for the help.
