I own a Pfaff 1475 so I know what you mean. I would look on ebay and also contact anyplace where they sell used sewing machines in my area. I know of one place where if it was going to need a new motherboard, they do that before selling it to you. It does cost more that way but you don't have the grief. Truthfully, ebay is not the best time to look for a sewing machine right before Christmas. I am sorry for your loss, not just for the sewing machine but that you had to go through all that you did.
