Basic strait stitch machine - does this mean it doesn't do zigzag?

A Brother PQ1500 is a straight stitch machine, high shank, big space for quilting. similar in shape to the Juki, less expensive, easy to maintain. I have two of them.

This past year I learned that the computer boards in electronic machines can fail. I'd ask how the seller how they treat that kind of problem and if it is covered in the warranty. They'll probably say something like "That rarely happens," or "We've never have had that problem."

Berninas are especially prone to board failures. That said, yes, electronic boards (actually the components on them, particularly capacitors and especially electrolytic capacitors which are used for power circuits) have a finite lifespan. If a component fails, it depends on its purpose and place in the circuit whether there is "collateral damage" to other parts of the circuit board when it fails.
