Finding cams for Kenmore sewing machine 158.510?

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.
