I still use it often. It is a work horse that barely needs any upkeep. I think you will be satisfied with your Viking.
I, too, have an old Viking 940 that is a workhorse if ever there was one! It has only been in the shop one time, not too long after I first got it, when I royally screwed up the bobbin and needed help. Although I am not personally familiar with some of the other brands, I highly recommend the Viking brand. I would ask them to throw in some freebies, and they will, if they want your business.
