Not to disagree with what the others have said, I will say that I have my mother's Singer Athena 2000 that she purchased in the '70s along with the beautiful cabinet, the original price was over $1000. She was a professional seamstress and had her machine in once a year for maintenance. It still runs flawlessly, but many years ago she was warned that if the "circuit" board went out it could not be replaced because they aren't made anymore. She has since passed away and I have put away her machine, but use the well designed cabinet because it reminds me of her everytime I sew. The cabinet is a beautiful piece of furniture and she got her moneys' worth out of the machine.
