The cord for my Singer serger looks just like that. Maybe you have another machine with the same cord?

I'd be out in the shed looking for it! You only paid $5 for it. I would spend the money and pay the $30.-40. If after you get a new pedal and find the old one. Then you have a spare.

It seems like you really like the machine and would use it if you had the foot. Keep it and keep looking for a pedal. One will show up and be more affordable. I had the same with an older machine and it was also missing the tray but over time and with DH's help I have all parts now and use the machine all the time.

I have a Kenmore that I bought early 90s - heavy as a tank and my plug-in looks just like the pic above.

Maybe this guy has one?

I have a Kenmore 158 series and it really is worth keeping and investing in a foot pedal. Don't get rid of it yet. Good luck, hope you get a pedal.

I agree with another Phyllis, where are you going to get another good mvhine for under $50.00? Plus if you still decide to sell it you would get much more for it.

The 19142 is considered the best Kenmore ever made. It looks really similar to the 158.19412 that you have. That said, I have yet to be disappointed with a 158 series Kenmore machine that I've serviced. They're really well built. If you don't keep it, please make sure someone else gets it instead of discarding it.

If you have a manual with it they would have a list of articles for that machine.

Post a picture of where the cord plugs into the machine. I also may have a cord for you.
