I had a PRO 5 for nearly 20 yrs--never had a problem except I broke the needle screw & had to get it replaced with facsimile. They are good, lasting machines. I now have the PRO 701 dex, from ebay for about $350 maybe 3 yrs ago?..don't know--it sat here while I "tried to wear out the other one. Bought new and sold it used for $100. Bought the dex because it does the cover stitch. Yours looks almost new in the pix. Hope you get a deal!
