There comes a time when ALL electronic machines become outdated & the industry has changed so much that repairs are neither cost-worthy nor appropriate. Which is soon followed by impossible. Idk why people accept that a computer is out-dated in 3 years...a TV in 4-5...kitchen appliances in 5-7, but they expect a sewing machines to last longer. Embrace the new technology. You can do sonmuch more with a new machine. Unless you only want to straight stitch. Then pick an old singer treadle & all you’ve gotta worry about is rust & the ancient leather belt drying out
