I would find a great guy like that, and let him bring this beauty up to snuff.
Leslie, I am hoping we managed to do just that today.
My SIL and I took the Sew E-Z today to a LQS that is known for its LAQ and for it's two very experienced sewing machine repair technicians. When we walked in, the shop was very quiet. Then a couple of people began buzzing around us. Next thing you know, they had opened the case and had the machine out and my SIL and I were surrounded by people all talking at once. Then they called the two older fellows from the back who do the servicing. They came right away, one saying “I never heard of a sewing machine called a “Little Beauty”! ;) We are surrounded by excited people, all talking at once. I was lucky my SIL came, since I can’t hear well. But the reaction was very fun to see. And we think they will take good care of her. I wonder what my daughter is going to name her?

Ann - the repair technicians are going to try. I hope so too!
