All I can tell you is that the arm and body are made of die cast aluminum and that you have to keep it oiled, so I assume the bearings are metal. Many people on the board love their Janomes, but I've never used one. As far as vintage machines goes, some folks love the Singer 201. They are supposed to be workhorses. You might check your local craigslist to see what is available. Good luck!
