Looking for some input on this sewing machine. This was my wife's grandmother's machine, who gave it to her. My wife didn't really ever use it, but a few years ago I was sewing a hem in some heavier fleece material and it sounded like the motor wore out; it wouldn't drive the needle anymore. (I ran it too hard, maybe?) I know almost nothing about sewing machines, much less their mechanicals. At that time, my wife reworked the bobbin to make sure it wasn't a thread feed issue but the issue persisted. Now we're moving, trying to decide if we keep it.
Does anyone know are parts for these still made, and or do sewing machine shops repair these models? If so, is it worth having it repaired compared to buying a different machine?
(We don't really sew, but if it did work I probably would tinker with hunting projects- nothing heavy like making a saddle, just misc. mods in clothes or lightweight materials.)
Here's what I can see on it:
Pfaff Hobbymatic 807
Type 807 80 W 0 8 A
Machine # 31485936
