Consider serving these machines, if they are 'genereic' machines. (?)
Can they be serviced, or are they 5 year machines. That you have to replace because all the

I remember when all Berninas were made in Switzerland, not just the high end models. I guess the Taiwan factory keeps them competitive, wish their prices were.
