Reading the cost of some of the maintainance fees makes me appreciate where I live and my Bernina dealer. $59.00 for a clean and service. My Bernina 930 has not cost me a penny for anything but servicing for the last 25 years.. Knock on wood. That is probably why you can't find them anywhere to buy. I had my Bernina 440 at a quilt retreat at a church camp out in the boonies. Right after that, it started to act up. The dealer said that low power to the machine is just as bad as a surge, and the computer system had to be replaced. Thank goodness it was under warranty. I learned my lesson. I now have all of my computerized sewing machines plugged into a battery pack serge protecter to maintain an even flow. I even bought an extra one for when I travel with one.
