Yes getting rare but I see an improvement. Most of the big manufacturers
Viking , Pfaff Bernina etc. are starting to limit the machines they will
sell to a dealer if they do not attend the training classes on them. I see
that as a good thing. Used to be you could not get into the business without
some training, for a while it seemed a free for all out there if anyone had
the cash to start up they would put them in business.
With the computer machines now things are much more difficult and it can
cost the manufacturer money if they let any old cowboy start poking around
in the machine swapping parts with no knowledge leads to return boards that
were damaged by incompetence.
They seem to be learning.
