I took my wife's Singer in for repair in the mid-80s. The repairman took one look at it and said for not that much more than the repair charge I could take home a used Bernina 807 and not have to wait for the repair. I considered the situation and bought the Bernina. I will second the all-metal, no-Windows-run-electronics. We still have the Bernina and still use it.
