You can check in with a wonderful and knowledgeable group of Bernina folks over at the Yahoo Group called BerninaThirtySomethings. I've been a member for years and have heard many a "dead" machine be brought back to life. It's worth a try if you like.
Best of luck,

My DH and a for sure honest tech went over the machine. That motor was really dead. The motor, without any installation was over $500, could only be bought thru a dealer (I tried). My "local" dealer became downright surly. That Bernina was the worst machine I ever bought. It was really good for a little over a year then nothing but trouble for the next 2. Janome is a better bet.
