I have a Pfaff 1473 that I've been sewing on since around 1990. I absolutely love it--I have 3 other machines (4 counting my Juki) and the Pfaff is the one I sew on the most. The Juki is on my quilting frame. I'm sure I know which store you bought it at and I love dealing with them. They are great--I always go by there when I go to Lexington.
