    I read some place that they weren't making replacement parts for this machine any more. Don't have one, so don't know if it is true or not. I have the 2003D and only use it for embroidery.

    Yes, I had one a dearly loved it. Only reason I got rid of it is I upgraded to the 2002ULT. I still see them on Ebay occationally.

    I have one of these machines and would gladly sell it for half of what I paid.
    I can't figure the computer part out. Too old I guess.
