They are in the process of getting the board now. I am disappointed to say the least that this happened; I had great confidence in Pfaff based on previous machines but now perhaps now so much, especially since other machines are having the same problem - not just bad luck with mine! Anyway, if your audible alarm is not so audible, I would push the dealer to fix it.
Well, I'll just settle with not hearing it. I don't want to part with my machine for repair. When I'm just regular sewing I can watch thru the see-thru door. The only time I really would like the signal is when I'm FMGing because I use a slider and can't readily see the bobbin. Oh, well.
