The pictures reminded me of the time my Pfaff machine quit working. I went out and bought a cheap Singer to sew on at the time. Then one day I decided to see if I could FIX it so I took off the bottom panel and low and behold a sewing machine needle was wedged between two metal posts on the computer panel. I removed the needle, put the bottom back on and it worked like a charm! The quote from the shop was that it was probably a control panel and would cost $400 for the part plus labor....glad I was able to fix it for $00. I ended up selling the machine for $1,100 to pay for another semester of college and continued to use the Singer until I got my first teaching job and bought the Bernina I use now!
