    Description

    Nice Vintage Kenmore 117.840. "The Kenmore 84"/Pfaff 139
    According to White : a product of American and German ingenuity!!
    This machine was manufactured in the 50's in West Germany by the Gritzner Nahmaschinen GmbH and imported to the USA .
    This is is a rare work horse in the world of home sewing machines,
    It is one of the very few that will use industrial type high-shank presser feet.
    This is a very durable machine, robustly constructed with a
    strong, heavy cast iron frame.
    The zig-zag and cam mechanisms
    are compact, strong, and accessible at the top of the machine for
    ease access and maintenance.
    Nearly all of the parts are precision
    machined from metal castings. There are very few (if any) parts
    that are made from stamped sheet metal. Many of the oiling
    points are marked with red paint as a reminder.
    This is a very nice durable machine. I have cleaned, lubricated it , sewn with it.
    This machines comes with
    .Original foot control
    . Original Owners manual
    . 4 disc cam (each cam has 2 sides making 8 decorative disc cams)
    . 5 bobbins
    . 10 Presser foot
    . Ruffler and extra accesories
    . Thread and vintage sewing stuff.

    s as described and shown in pictures. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request more pictures. I will be double boxing this machine when shipping. I highly recommend professional maintenance instead of attempting to personally make adjustments.

    PLEASE READ
    **** BECAUSE OF A FEW BAD BUYERS   I am including this DISCLAIMER to all future buyers.
    DISCLAIMER
    :  I sell used vintage sewing machines and parts. This means that they are not perfect. They may have cosmetic blemishes and nicks. I present them as accurately and descriptively as I can using words and pictures. If you have any questions at all you must ask prior to purchase and shipping. I will answer quickly and truthfully about the item. Once you purchase and receive the item(s) you own it. I have cosmetically cleaned, oiled, and practiced sewing with the machines to ensure that they function correctly (professional maintenance will be left to your discretion after purchase). I check the functionality of every machine by sewing on a piece of cloth. Unless the machine is Broken in Shipping, claims that it doesn't sew will not be believed. If the box the machine is shipped in arrives damaged, take multiple pictures before, during, and after you open it (that way filing a claim to the shipping company can be processed efficiently). I package using bubble wrap and a lot peanuts to cushion and protect the machine from interior movement and external trauma to the box. I am sorry to have to make this disclaimer, but it is necessary. If you manage to get a return from me, you agree to pay for return postage.
    Thank you.
