Another brilliant idea!!

Well, so far APQS has been great about supporting their older products.  For years there was virtually no difference between one year and  another.  Now with the recent "square" machines I'm not sure what all was changed.  If history repeats itself, no worry.  I have a 25 year old machine, and have had very few problems.  APQS was there when I needed help ( I replaced the needle bar and needle bar bushings on my Ult 2 a few years ago.)  The machine I have is simple enough, and fitted with standard sewing machine parts, so that I've been able to deal with the few issues I've had over the 12 years I've owned her.  The standard parts have allowed me to modify my machine in several areas, which has really given me a custom machine more to my liking than a standard model.  I don't think buying a used machine puts you at risk, even in the long time horizon you suggest.  Just my opinion.  Jim

There's a group on Facebook called We ❤ APQS. In the files section, you will find the complete manual for your machine. I'll try and add it here too
