Yes I lived in and purchased my very first pfaff over 40 years ago from a sewing machine business in our home town of Guelph! I still have it and it works fine. I have upgraded a few times as my life changed and we moved around but still can't bring myself to sell sell it!
I think that same business still exists. You might consider a phone call and get some suggestions on a reliable machine that meets your price point! Good luck!
