I am so excited, happy about this one. My niece is delivering to me, this weekend (tomorrow) my mother's old Kenmore. As I far I can remember, she got this machine in 1962. I do not remember her using it much though, cause shortly after that, my father retired from the army and when we moved my mother started working full time. When that happened I guess she did not have the time much for sewing (with 7 children and all). But I do remember using the Kenmore a little when I was in school and after I got married, until I got my own first machine, a Singer Fashion Mate (dont remember what happened to that, I think I must have given it away at some point) ANYWAY, to get back on track, I intend to post more about the Kenmore once I have it. Will post about its running condition, model number, ease of use, etc.

With few exceptions, most Kenmores from that era are good quality machines. My former MIL ran an alterations business from her home and trashed her Singer Golden Touch & Sew in favor of a Kenmore and remarked every time I saw her how much better she liked the Kenmore.

Yours may need a bit of attention from being under-used for an extended period, but once you get it back in tune, it should last the rest of your life.
