Those Sunbeams were good machines. Big, heavy duty and very durable. I
own a Sunbeam Vista FP that was new in 1979. It's had a lot of use and
still holds up well. Sunbeam quit making them long ago so parts and
service are no longeer available. If mine failed, I would probably
look for another one on ebay.
