I'm not sure about the age of the Viking #1. My sister bought me the Viking Rose in 1996 & she had the Viking #1. I don't think my (now deceased) sister had any complaints about the Viking #1 & I am still using my Viking Rose. My Rose was the cheaper Viking model & cost over $900.00 back in 1996. I would ask how many embroidery disks come with the machine as these older machines had "cards" you had to buy for the various designs that were very expensive. I think you can buy the computer program so that you can download designs, but this is not cheap either.
Are you able to test drive the machine before purchasing to make sure it is working properly? Remember, it is a computerized machine, so if not stored properly, may have received damage.

Here is the info she sent me:
It is a Husqvarna Viking #1. It does do the embroidery and I have all the owner’s manual and how to video’s. It is about 9 years old but it has only been used about 20 times. I also have tons of different arms for it like quilting, darning. I never really learned how to do all the things on it. I just took the basic class after I got it and never really used it to its full potential. I got it at Cindy’s sew easy shop and they still give lessons on this model. It is a great machine but like I said I never use it.
What does everyone think?
Thanks
