Yeah I figured that was the case with the lube and big stores. No demand because I don't think some quilters (especially in this town) even hold onto their machines lOng enough to oil and grease them. They want the latest and greatest it seems. But I thought it was funny, the other day I asked the Viking dealer in my Joanne's (can you tell that's like the only fabric store within 40 minutes of me?) if they knew of any "vintage" sewing repairmen, she came back at me and said "define vintage?" I answered 60's or 70's her reply was " like featherweight vintage." finally I told her the make and model of the machine an promptly added that I could fix a featherweight on my own. Turns out the guy won't touch my touch and sew. I'll see about giving her some attention once I come back from this trip.
