There are lots of them 15 I think maybe 20 I am not sure. They are red, yellow, and blue sets of cams to go into the mechanism.

Good score!!!

Wow Billy, I had no idea there were so many. I have only seen illustrations of red ones - I shall have to keep my eyes peeled on ebay. Will these little cams work with any of the Singer Zig Zaggers do you know? I asked because there was another version for a slant needle Singer, though the cams looked the same for that one, they might not have been.

At least this will give you something to have fun looking for!!

Hi Billy, Just wanted to jump in here and ask if you know anything about the Domestic Brand Machine Model 924 made in Japan. My DH has fallen in love with the vintage machines made in Japan and their futuristic body design. He just got this one in a cabinet at a thrift store for $2.
