I am looking at other options, such as...
https://www.amazon.com/Juki-HZL-LB50.../dp/B01FG2KMIG It is a new model I believe. Does anyone have a newer computerized Juki?
I did not initially want to buy a new machine, but I really don't want to struggle with another old machine that has issues, and would need parts, service $$$s. I know there is no guarantee that a new machine will be trouble free, and I am a bit hesitant to buy a computerized one, but many seem to love them.
I'm still looking at all options at this point, but I will check locally and not buy online. Still interested in a nice older Kenmore, 158, if I can find one nearby.
