In my hometown there was a sewing shop that sold and repaired machines. The repairman was the owner's hubby. I spoke with him about repair on the very old machines that he had there and he said that parts are available, but they were not local so there was wait time involved.

I would advise to pick up a bunch of extra needles in different sizes and a few belts too. Also, don't forget to stockpile thread, but I guess that was a given.

Thread, yeh if you can find any decent thread. I read somewhere that they had so much stockpiled in warehouses that a lot of the thread in stores is kinda rotten/not as strong-course you can read anything these days.LOL.
