My mother bought this machine from Costco in the 90s and gifted it to me when I started to learn to sew. After 2 decades of lying dormant, the machine started up again without an issues or adjustments. It runs even better now that I've cleaned and oiled it. Prior to my care, the machine was never oiled, serviced, or cleaned out. It has everything I need and the fun additional embroidery stitches are always welcome. It has a LCD Display to show the stitch names, but the machine is pretty much fully mechanical.
Troubleshooting tips:
Because this machine is older, it's been difficult for me to find confirm compatible parts. I've also have trouble locating a digital copy of the official service manual. The owner's manual is readily available online.

I had a similar machine that I bought at costco in 1997 in miami. It was an okay machine, sold it. You might be able to find a copy of the manual is you search online. A lot off difference places carry old sewing machine manuals

You might want to contact Brother support about the compatible accessories and even maybe a service guide. Nice that you are using this machine!!
