Shoulda got the 1130 for $200
I asked the dealer and she said the 550 was Swiss made. Only saw the sticker on the bottom when I got home. I was spending my research on features not manufacturer. Thought the dealer would know. My assumption was wrong. Oh well...my Pfaffs not from Germany either. And I like my iPhone from China.

I have a 1230 that I absolutely love *but* my understanding is if the motherboard ever goes out on it, the machine is done for. This is because the parts factory had some kind of disaster that wiped out their inventory of motherboards for that era of machine, and the company decided not to manufacture more.
