I have a New Home that I have been sewing on for 35 years. Never had it in for repairs. It is always ready to sew when I am. I sew on it almost everyday. Still looks and performs like a new machine. Too bad they quit making them as that is what I would buy if something goes wrong with mine. I believe I read somewhere that they were made by Janome? You can tell I am attached to my New Home. I have 5 machines but it is still old favorite. Good luck.
