I would keep it also. I have 4 machines (only two of which I was using). I started a quilt for my grand- daughters wedding on my main machine; it started acting up so I went to my other machine, and it too started acting up so out comes my older machine. And, wouldn't you know, I got to sew one bobbins worth when it decided not to sew. OK, now what do I do. The wedding is in a week and I'm not done with it. I go to my dining room where an old machine in in a cabinet sits, one that was given to me by my friend who moved out of state. I oiled it up and got it to sew accurately. I was able to finish the quilt the night before the wedding. You never know when you will need a backup, or two or three, LOL.
