Pfaff 7550 & 7570
Hi there - I've been trying to find info regarding the Pfaff 7550 and/or 7570 and discovered this site. I was reading that the 7550 are approx 15yrs old and motherboards getting a bit thin on the ground. Is this the same for the 7570? Whilst I have a CV, I am finding it just too heavy to lug about to retreats, sewing days, etc and a friend has the 7550 which I have been fortunate to use hence my quest to find out more about either of the machines before I commit to buy a second hand one. Given that the price for a second hand one (the 7570 is all Ive been able to find in Australia) ranges from AUD$1500 (plus freight from Queensland to Western Australia) to AUD$1250 in Perth (which is a round trip of approx 6 hours) you can see my problem wanting to ensure that it doesnt go phhhzt (as one lady put it) 5 minutes after Ive paid for it. Would love your input and thank you in anticipation. Cheers Helen
