I love old machines, and get many in for service. This is a good indictator of why they should be checked over by a technician frequently. This Singer 319K is basically a death trap. If you have an older machine, make sure you get it checked out by a technician to ensure its electrical safety. For your parents have one as well, ensure their safety by getting it checked as well.
Safety first.

If you have an embroidery machine regular service is vital to protect your investment. I have a machine this morning which has not been serviced for 2 years. The build up of lint and thread remnants means that instead of a routine service, it will require a significant rebuild. Not only does this increase the cost enormously, it also keeps the machine in the workshop for 2 to 3 times the normal turnaround.
A good time for service is when you are taking a holiday. Most people don't take their machine with them so it makes sense to have it dealt with when you don't need it.

Hi everyone, Just a quick hint on oiling your sewing machine. Always use a good quality sewing machine oil or a lubricant recommended by your technician. I have had 4 machines in the last week presented that have been lubed with cooking oils or 3 in one oil. 2 I could retrieve. The other two were unfortunately unable to be repaired economically.
