I have a White model#1407 sewing machine which I purchased as-is about 6 months ago. Almost immediately it started squeaking when running at high speed, but due to laziness I didn't bother with it until now. I just brought it into a sewing machine service shop for their advertised tuneup for $15 and it turns out it needs a timing/bearing replacement & repair. Cost $70. "Is that even worth it?" I asked, and she told me it's definitely worth it for this machine - being older (likely early 80s model) it's sturdier and of higher quality than the plastic madeinchina crap being produced now.
So, while I have no interest in buying a brand new sewing machine, is it worth it to repair this one or just shop around for another used model in good working condition?
