Have you checked with the dealer to find out the status of the ordered part. I took a Singer machine that had belonged to my deceased adopted sister. I inherited 4 machines from her and only the older Singer needed repair. I didn't really need the machine repaired immediately because I had the others as well as several of my own. I made the mistake of telling the dealer that there was no rush. Six months later, still no machine. I called them and discovered that they had put it on a shelf in the back and forgotten about it. I had it back within a week after I called and "gently" reminded them that I was still waiting for my machine.
