Welcome. I can't help you because I can't remember, but I used a Kenmore for many years and loved it.

The one I had I bought new in 1974, top of the line. That was back when Vikings were selling for over 900.00 bucks and I couldn't see paying that much for a sewing machine.lol Turned out my Kenmore was a great machine so I did well I would say. :D

My husband just picked up ANOTHER one of these fine machines for $25, in a cabinet. He's in another city on business and I found it on CL. There is just no market for them in NY.
