I have my much loved Bernina 830 Record. It has been mine since I bought it new in 1971. It was the top of the line then, purchased for $350. That was a lot for a young nursing student working in a fabric store part time. This machine has never given me a moment's problem. Guess she will be mine for a while yet. Now she has company too: a
Bernina 440QE, a Tin Lizzie 18LS, 4 Featherweights, 2 Singer Treadles and a few other vintage machines. At least she isn't lonely!
