It should be about the same if it is a simple straight stitch machine that is 50 years old or older.
Now I will be doing one for the newer version of the sewing machine that has a lot of mechanics to them but it will be after this one.
Now the one I just mentioned will be using my 500A on and this should apply to just about any machine with a self contained motor up to the mid 70's. Mostly it will be a clean, oil, and polish type of tute that is essentially your basic "Tune Up".
This way you can get to know your machine and you can keep a regular schedule on maintenance. If anything should break somewhere down the line you should be comfortable enough to tear into the machine diagnose the problem and if its not too complicated you can service it yourself.
So far I have never found a problem too far out there to not be able fix yourself.
