I'm picking one up at an auction. It looks to be in perfect condition.
The Singer 301 is a straight stich only sewing machine. It has no cams...
We purchased our Kenmore Sewing Machine Model 95 on 28 September 1967. My wife is still using it.
This question is rather vague. In the 1960's Singer came out with a Touch and Sew sewing machine that had a set of plastic cams. They were disks that fit into a spool at the top of the machine. Each disc made the machine perform stitches differently.
Hi, as much as someone is willing to pay for it. It varies a lot. Depends upon condition, also, and if it has all the accessories and cams that should be there with the machine. Accessories and cams take a while to hunt down, and customers might not want to spend that much total on the machine should they have to wait and hunt, etc. If it's filthy, beat up and needs servicing, well, not much.
There were several different sets of cams made for various kenmore machines. You can check at sears.com under parts direct to see if the parts charts for your machine is available and if it shows the cams. please note that these are line drawings and aren't always the clearest. There are two groups on yahoogroups for older kenmores and if I remember correctly, the one called Kenmore sew did a survey of the different cam sets and what machines they went with. you could join them and check the archives about it. The last thing I can suggest is do a search on ebay for your model machine and see if one that has it's cams is listed. This could take a while but if one is shown then you would know what to look for.
Cams Cams
Cams are incredibly useful thingsThey:Change gears in motorcycle transmissionsOperate a lot of automated machineryand of course open the valves in most piston internal combustion engines (and in some cases force them to close.
Different things in a machine can rotate. In a motor, the rotor will rotate or revolve. We also find shafts, gears, pulleys, cams, flywheels and a number of other parts that spin.
cams are camreas or camells
The early machines were very similar to the standard machines today, but they were not electric, and used a treadle or crank for power. The biggest change in modern machines is the electronic, programmable that uses cams.
