We took my 7550 machine on Wednesday all the way to Birmingham, which is 3 hours away, and waited for the complete service and diagnostics. It was quite a trip. There was a whole list of adjustments and things out of sync, but I did not need to replace the motor. He also replaced a part in the foot control. He said it should sew like new now and that is good. I did have to pay for an expedited service, plus about twice as much as I usually pay for standard cleaning and oiling ... but it was worth it.

I asked specifically if the company had been bought out and they told me no. I kept asking and they kept saying no. So, I don't know where that rumor may have come from.

For those of you who own Pfaffs, take the time to find a reputable repairman ... they are not all the same. I had paid for a new foot control several years ago ... only to find out this time, that the old pedal was just glued and I never was given a new one ... although I paid for it!! Others will charge you for cleaning and then just blow it out. Wrong ... hurts your machine.

Best of luck with your own machines!
