What happens when a circuit board (motherboard?) "goes bad" or fails?
#32
The first machine I ever bought after leaving home was a Singer (I forget the model #) in 1964. Anyway, my DD has it in her closet & if anything ever goes crazy with my Janome Magnolia 7330, I will have a back up to go to. I also have a Singer 2010 Touchtronic & don't think it is computerized so could use it also.

Hi, this is my first post on these boards. I have a Pfaff 1471 bought around 30 years ago. I love that machine! It suddenly quit working and I believe it is the mother board finally giving up. There is a shop in Penn, https://brubakerssewing.com/. The owners specialize in repairing old Pfaffs. You might want to give them a try. I have no connections to this shop, just passing the word.

schematics
About 5 years ago, when the motherboard went on the fritz on my beloved Pfaff1475, my DH found a guy online who was selling a DVD of the electronic schematics of the Pfaff 1475 for a reasonable price. I think there were other Pfaff models on the DVD, too. We took a chance and ordered it. My electrical engineer DH was able to repair the board--but it took three tries to get all the buttons, stitches, and gizmos to work correctly. What I'm saying is, check online to see if someone has electrical/electronic schematics for your machine.
I see this is an old thread but I was hoping I can get some info from you. I have a 1471 that the circuit board needs
repair. Any chance you have the info on those schematics? I have been unsuccessful finding them.

For some of us - we are willing to pay (up to a point) to have our old tried and true machines repaired. We do not want/need a "new/improved/fancier/more expensive" machine.
So - instead of spending the money to get that old favorite fixed - I just walk away from the store and don't look back.
(Sort of like keeping the same man I married years ago - I want him to stay functioning as long as possible - and I am not interested in replacing him.)
For the more expensive machines - I want something that will be repairable - not "disposable".

the 7570 was my dream machine, I waited years to get it, but then did not use it for better than a tear, why? what if some went wrong with it then would no longer have my dream machine, So I got a backup, then 2 more back ups for it ended up with 4 Pfaff 7570! so now I use them all so far so good, also use my singer 221s for piecing. I really love the stiches on the 7570,
