Both. And I think I remember being told the company was sold, which generally means the price will rise and the old standards of excellence will be flushed down the toilet. The old ones are work horses and will last and last and last. They are well worth a little fixing up. They also sew a straight, VERY straight line, which the ones with 200 stitches can't often seem to match.
