The sewing machine repair shop in Cincinnati would rebuild the motor every 6 months (when the warranty ran out) finally I had to give up on it and learn to do repairs. That was a failure for me.... I guess it is how we all learn - fail on some win on some. Even Ray White gave up on my old Elna - he said it had seen a LOT of use - he had that right.
