I was hoping more knowledgeable posters would have an idea for you. My idea is if you have an iota of mechanical knowledge, give it a go yourself. People here are anxious to help on specific questions. Electric can be a little intimidating, but mechanical is straight forward and not dangerous. Ask a specific question, try the response, if it works, you're ahead of the game. If it doesn't work continue to ask. Don't take anything apart in the bobbin case area, needle nose area, or undercarriage until more competent. One of My first units was a BU. It was froze in some areas. Got all unfrozen but feed dog drop. Placed a screw driver in between the frozen parts and snapped a teat off. Lesson learned. Oil and heat safely does what I tried with a screw driver.

I've been collecting and repairing for maybe a year. This message board and other Yahoo groups have helped me to the point of fearlessness. I've rewired motors, replaced needle bars and unfroze a 15-125 with only oil and a hair dryer.

Again, if game, ask this group a specific question and give doing your own repairs a try. You'll get hooked, I guarantee.
