    Just bought this awesome 1955 Kenmore Seeing machine for $20 from a consignment shop in Niagara Falls, NY. It starts up, but smells like burning. Also the needle doesn’t go up or down. It has a fold up knee pedal. Any other info is very helpful!

      My mom had a similar machine. It came with a little plastic squeeze bottle of oil which had a long, needle-like nozzle which was for getting the oil to all the moving parts inside (not in motor). I agree it sounds like some moving parts are stuck. Have u checked to see if there’s thread tangled inside the bobbin area? Or globs of fibers and dust inside?
      I agree u should have a professional check it out for you.

      Oops...I just read the front cover of your owners manual....it says “do not oil the machine”!
      So forget I said anything about oil.
