Just thought I would throw that out as it would be something to consider if you are in the market for a machine. It would be a deal buster for me.
I think something like this should be corroborated before it's put in the public domain. If not true, it could do Pfaff a lot of damage and that's not fair. :-D
Your probably right, and your point is well taken. I just assumed that an informed consumer would question the Pfaff dealer they were going to do business with and do their due diligence in the area of research prior to buying any machine.
I own a Pfaff 262 in addition to other machines and it is hard to find parts for but in defense of Pfaff it was built in 1968 and still runs like new. All I intended to do by posting the info was to attempt to inform a potential consumer there could be a problem. I never assumed I had any power to hurt any company and of course that was not my intention. I just spent 7500 bucks on a machine and I know if I found out after my purchase Bernina was going under I would really be upset. We all work really hard for our money and I thought it was the right thing to throw out this info.
However, to anyone that was offended by my post re Pfaff I do apologize.
Many blessings...
