Is this to much to pay for this fix and is the machine worth it? Is it a fix I could do if I can find the part online? Any one know what the part would be for it so that I could look it up online? The service person said it was a worn hook tip in the bobbin case. Any and all information would be appreciated.

I had a worn hook tip a few years ago and it was going to cost well over $100.00 to replace the part, but the service man told me he could actually "file the burr" and it would probably work for a while. ( He explained that the hook had a "burr" on it that was rough and causing the stitches to mess up ) I told him to file it, and the cost was very little and it has worked fine for several years now.
