It's all your fault!! Part II
Remember the roach-infested Kenmore and cabinet from my post last year?
RE: older Kenmore machine
See original post from 8-13
Well, I had her serviced, and sanded, scraped, and refinished the table. She never ran to my satisfaction, and has been sitting alone in the corner ever since.
My hubs and I do our shopping at the AFB commissary, and I occasionally run into the consignment shop on the base. Yesterday I was taking a quick run through there and saw an ugly, dirty case on a table, along with a box of attachments, buttonholer, and cams. I peeked inside the case and there was a Kenmore 158.17740 (mine is a 158.1830). Price was $25. All I had was $15 and I had to run out and get the rest from DH
Must have been my lucky day! Brought her home, cleaned her out, oiled her, put in a new needle and
she sews like a dream! The insides are pretty clean, I bet she's just been sitting around for years.
Best of all, NO roaches!
She now has a place of honor inside the redone cabinet.

I had one years ago and loved it. My EX-husband got rid of it and bought me a newer model (plastic) that was okay, but I missed my old one. BTW, I did not want or need a newer machine; guess he decided that for me.

We have an agreement about tools and machines. I buy my machines and he buys his tools. I don't buy his tools he doesn't buy my machines.

Same here, only he is not the enabler yours is, I had to quit on machines for lack of room, and here in FL near the Gulf they cannot be stored outside or would be a bucket of rust in 6 months. You go girl, love seeing what you have bought now.
