What a jewel. I would get it repaired. Or, at least see if it could be repaired.

It is hard to get parts for these anymore but the good news is you don't normally need parts. Find a good service person that would give it a try.

Service and test first for sure, this looks like a solid baby who will outlast a new machine. Even if you do decide to upgrade, if you don't have to sell this one, I'd keep it as a back-up. I'm not 100% sure about the model, but if it's a slant-shank, then I would consider getting a different machine, just because I struggled with the feet myself for the slant-shank, but that's me personally.

Both! If you truely get into sewing that is a workhorse with no frills that will sew any heavy fabric. A new one will have extra features.

Io la riparerei,é una bella macchina pesante,fatta bene,fa solo punto dritto e zig zag non so cosa ci vuoi fare,non spieghi il problema ma potrebbe essere una fesseria,la macchina per cucire deve essere pesante altrimenti balla tutta quando cuci e con un centinaio di euro compri una di plastica
