Cost less than $100 Can. for the repair and a good maintenance.
These are great machines, and I would suggest you think carefully before disposing of it.
I have two Jukis, one mechanical and one computerized, but I still use my Singer a lot.
I have a 301 and would pay that much to have it repaired. You might want to take it in and have someone look at it. It might not cost that much to repair.
