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?
