Checking the model out online it was listed as identical to the Janome DC5100, selling for $499 to $699. It appeared that the foot control off my Janome 8000 (machine that no longer works) or my 9000 would work on the Kenmore 19233. After getting lost (I looked up Avenue instead of Street on gps), we finally found the address. Sure enough, the foot control worked and all the 8000 feet & accessories will work as well!!
The girl got the machine from her mother two years ago and never used it. Actually, it looks like no one ever used it - brand new condition!! It was dirty on the outside from being stored but the inside was spanking clean!
The machine has great feature that I love on my other machines - needle threader, needle up/down selection, etc. It works great and the best part is it was only $50.00!!! I got a really great buy!
UPDATE:
I have used this machine all week and it is a great machine. I really, really like it.
I will go back now to my favorite - Janome MC9000 to give it a workout after $250 in repairs.
It had not been feeding properly since I had it in the shop for service a couple of years ago.
I finally took it to a different shop. They said it was probably just an adjustment of the feeddogs as they were not raised but it turned out a piece that controls the feed dogs in the very bottom of the machine was broken. It feeds well now and even has a different sound to it. It is nice to be able to control the stitch length and not have tiny stitches from it not feeding the fabric.
