FS: Sewing Machine ...... Kenmore low speed/high torque

[Hunt'nFish]

Guys, just cleaning out some of my excess machines.
Here is an ALL METAL Heavy Duty Kenmore low geared, high torque class 15 sewing machine.
Currently loaded & tensioned for upholstery tread and cordura material.
Cleaned oiled and ready for service. Includes case as well....... $130 TYD

This one is a real monster, it'll sew through 8 layers of denim (see pics).
It does straight, zig-zag, blind stitch, and a few decorative stitches.

Call, text or PM
Thanks, Mike Hunt'nFish

Are parts readily available for these older machines? I'm thinking of things that are regular wear and tear items like needles.

Thanks!

Yes those items are pretty standard. This is a good looking machine

Yeah, bobbins are std class 15 and needles std as well..... I use #16 jeans needles with upholstery thread. And feet are available at most sew shops as well... not that you need anything beyond a std zig-zag foot or a zipper foot.

This machine is all metal inside, really nothing to break.... unlike the newer machines.

But what really sets this machine apart is its power. The motor & belt gearing is slower than normal, which ups it's torque..... a good thing when sewing cordura and webbing.

Manual is available online, not that you need one after you get the hang of threading it.

Adj presser foot, and drop down feed dogs, removable table for free arm sewing... like hemming pants and putting elastic in jacket cuffs.

I'm tempted by this as like most of us I occasionally have a need for repairs on clothing and such and would also likely find more creative uses but I have zero sewing experience.

Can't be too awful much to learn, huh?

It's pretty simple. There's a learning curve but if you can walk and chew gum at the same time and not end up with a band aid on your forehead, you can learn to sew.
