I just picked up a Kenmore 1318 (158.1318) for $20 at the local Goodwill store. Does anyone have a manual they could share? I can't seem to find an electronic version online, only paper copies going for about $20-$30.

I found lots of free manuals for other 158.___ kenmores, but none close enough to help.
The best I came up with is this download for $5.95. Scroll down to your model.
Here's my mother's Singer 401a. One of my brothers had it until he passed this July. So I took it, cleaned, oiled, etc. It had the speed control but no AC power cord. I was able to get a new AC power cord and light bulb at the local sewing machine repair store. The machine was really dirty, full of fuzz, etc. But now that it's clean it's a very smooth running machine. It's got cams built in for a bunch of stitches, plus you can add cams to it up top for even more patterns.
The serial number dates the machine to 1951-55.
Another nice Singer saved from the scrap heap!
Enjoy the Singer 401A, they are very good machines.
Here's a link to the service manual in case you ever need it...http://sewingdude.wordpress.com/2012...ervice-manual/
I picked up a Singer 411g locally for $65. It is clean and runs quite well. I ran it through several of the stitches that it supports and all were perfect. Now I just need to get a fewmore bobbins and some good gear thread and I will be even happier.
I'm using a Kenmore...
Not the greatest, prettiest and frankly I think it's haunted but... It works, most of the time

It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness.
So Many projects...
So Little Time..
Seems as though that might be quite the find...http://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/431/
Enjoy it.
