Default sewing machine problems

Ok girls, Here's my problem. I have a Viking Sapphire 870. Have looked at other brands including the pricey ones. My 870 is overheating and skipping stitches..It could be expensive! I am now considering the Viking 962. I am not in a position to replace my plastic inserts and portable table tops to fit a new machine. They say the 962 measures the same as my 870. So-ooo has anyone got an opinion of the 962? Heard anything troubling about them. I don't want to buy new with the same problem and have asked around and been told the 870 and 875 have the same problems. My machine is about 6 years old and I admit I have used it a lot! So maybe it is time to give it a decent burial. But only if the expense is too high to warrant repairs. HELP! Also they no longer manufacture the 870 or 875.
