Default HELP PLEASE--re a Viking 980 & a Singer " Althena " 2000

My elderly friend has both machines --not working. Local repairman moved so we are lost.
The cords and foot pedals have been checked -OK so power going to machine. Any ideas or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I have the web. So far haven't found anything except
an ebay sale for the Viking which she has had about 20 yrs. -prefers to keep/use it because of familiarilty.
It just stopped working.
I tried the Singer and it sounds like the motor works but sounds like a belt may have come off --BUT I don't
even know if it actually has a belt inside it. I refuse to take this apart as I only do small jobs on my
vintage machines.
These really aren't Vintage --just 2 machines causing a lot of aggravation to a lady that only does charity
work for needy children. That is why I want to get help for these machines for her.

We are in south west Florida area. Will be looking for any replies. Thank You
