Sorry you didn't get the Viking.
I have a Pfaff 130, which is slightly earlier than the 260, but shares the same attachments and other parts. It is my main machine. Mine is in a cabinet, and it is heavy duty. It sews fast. I haven't had any problems with it. I got it from a man who bought it at an auction. His wife wouldn't let him sew on her machine, so he found this one for himself. He used it to make denim quilts for his grandkids and for charity. I got it after he passed away and named it "Leslie" after him.
It is not a lightweight machine.
