In 1972 I bought a new Bernina in 2001 after many long years of service cloths for 3 kids numerous horse blankets, jean repares, upolstry project, quilts and anything else that needed sewing the motor died a smokie death. The Bernina repairman said Bernina no longer made that motor and he could only get me a factory rebild but it would not be under a warrenty. Bernina only warrenty new products. The rebuilt would cost me 600 plus labor. bought a new machine (not a Bernina)
