I have you beat LOL. I have a Viking 940 from 1980 and it is still working but recently the presser foot pressure wheel is not holding so it is like FMQ. I feel so bad. It was a workhorse.

My 15 year old Viking Designer 1 is a workhorse and never any problems with it.

Pfaff 1475 (I think that is the right number) and still use it after 40 plus years, I have had the presser foot become sluggish and that was a quick fix with the service, no parts. Love my Pfaff machines-7570 and CS.

Janome Memory Craft 9000

I bought my Janome in 1998 and used it like a little work hourse. The mother board on it just went which meant it was laid to rest as they do not make them any more.....i loved it ....another Janome was in order...
