I've heard the same thing. That they weren't built for the continuous motor speed needed for FMQ? I don't know if this is fact or rumor.
Havent heard this, but looking at some of vintage sewing books out there, I wouldn't think it would be a problem. The motors on those machines age well, a lot depends on how tight the belt is as to whether there would be strain on the motor to cause overheating. I have sewn both slow and fast on mine and never had a problem, but maybe I just sew for smaller increments of time. :D
