I have a Creative Touch 1036 that is the younger cousin to the Futura. Mine has a timing belt that is on it's last legs so I did some research to decide if it would be wise to repair the machine. At this point other parts may be on their last legs as well and would cost more to repair than buy a new machine. Here's a link of replacement parts and cost .
