I didn't think it would be common. 
My daughter wants a free arm machine but tends to snub her nose at the more common Elnas. She does like yours though. The Pfaffs tend to go higher than I can spend. Some of the Vikings look pretty decent and so far I haven't ran across any Kenmores with all the parts. When I get her one I want it to be at least reasonably complete and I want it to look decent. The right one will come along.

Metal cam is for stitch modifier
These are C cams for a Kenmore. They fit my Kenmore 95 and my Kenmore 1760. They come in a double or single cam. The second photo shows the cases they might come in, the Pattern Cams box or a small green plastic accessory box.
The last photo shows a metal cam. This came installed on my Kenmore 1760.

The metal cam with the number 20 stamped on it is the "permanent" cam for the 158 series that lets you use the stitch modifier. Without this cam, you cannot use the modified stitches. I have been trying to find one of these for months because it is missing from the otherwise pristine 158.17600 I bought from a thrift store. Anybody have any leads? Would be much appreciated.
