Elna 9006 problem

If anyone has information/experience with board problems with the Elna

9006 I would be MOST grateful for help. My machine is about 10 years old. The lighted screen no longer lights but the machine works stitches adjust. The shop told me that I'd have to buy a new machine as the board is no longer available! WAIT a minute. It is not ancient. Why do companies not have replacement parts for a 10 year old machine?? Things should not go wrong in the first few years and I can understand not having parts for 40yrs+ but an expensive 10 year old machine should not have to be replaced! Any help, Jo Ann

Have you tried to get parts for a car older than 7 years? Many manufacturers do not make or warehouse them. Disgusting in my opinion. I am not familiar with the Elna 9006 bit I have two Elnas, the CE 20 (now about 6 years old) and a 925 serger (about 8 years old). I am not looking forward to their aging!

It is elementary my dear. They need to sell machines to stay in business not parts. Electronics expire faster than milk these days P.S. you can still get part for 40 year old machines and even 100 years but not much for 10 year old machines. Yes it is disgusting.

It may not be that the manufacturer does not want to repair or stock parts for a 10 year old machine, it could be that the parts have been discontinued that make the boards for your machine and they are not able to be made any more.

This is very common in electronics. A critical part that makes up a board is discontinued by the part manufacturer and the board maker is up the creek.

Unfortunately, this is the results when mechanics give way to electronics. John in SC
