I read all the coments here about there Viking Machine but did not see anyone mention the #1* which was a embroidery and sewing machine, I have one of these and it stopped working a few years ago and even back then i couldn't find anyone that would work on it. Most said to junk it and get a different machine.. I did but it is just a sewing machine, no enbroidery I bought a Brother and really love it when it's working..I saved my old Viking #1* in hopes I could find someone to fix it.. as I really loved that machine and have lots of embroidery patterns for it... I guess it's a throw away world for sure.
