Lynnie, you are on Long Island, right? Are you anywhere near to or can get to Sew Right Sewing Machines on Union Turnpike in Bayside? Harvey, the owner, is amazing. He has many "pre-owned" machines, too. I have bought a used Husqvarna from him, two other Husqvarnas, the basic Husqvarna for my daughter when she was 10, and I think a Bernina way back. His repair work is fabulous. He has a great reputation, too. He is also very nice.
