They are much more reliable, sew better, are easier to maintain and have less to go wrong. So, of all the machines I own, the old mechanical ones are swiftly becoming my favs.
I agree with you 100%. Two of my Kenmores are from the middle 60s and I like them but they are super heavy. Thank goodness they are both in cabinets. I have a hard time leaving machines I see in thrift stores. They look so pathetic..just like a puppy at the pound. So I bring them home and clean them up. But I do miss the needle up/down and the needle threader. Eyesight is definitely not what it used to be lol.
