Our Bernina dealer sells used feet etc. for older machines. I have an old 830 which I would never give up. And I also have a new 440. My friend bought a used 930 from our dealer and she also bought some used feet, especially a walking foot at a great price. You can probably get a cord from eBay or from a Bernina dealer. You are so lucky to get this machine. I've sewed my leather sandle straps on my 830 as well as my daughter's wedding dress. The 930 will do the same.
