Yes, I have an older gentleman 10 miles from my home. He sells Janome but will work on any. I bought my Janome from him. Back home we have 2 in the same town. About 30 miles from me I have 2 more. I'm not sure about the abilities of one of them though. I was told at a LQS that he just started working on machines. So that makes me nervous. I'm really picky about what they use to clean my older machines. I normally just clean mine myself. If I'm having tension or timing issues or need an internal part replaced I take it in.
