Wow !!!! I remember buying one of those as a gift for a mom many years ago. She played that thing to death. Unfortunately the thing broke down after a few years. I guess all the mechanical parts fall apart after a while. It might be a good buy for a collector, but it has a certain mechanical life span. I would love to buy one for my mom again ... she really misses it ... even at $800. But I wonder if they can fix it if it breaks down or if there are parts for it. Is there another company today that manufactures a similar machine? Any information on that would greately be appreciated.
