I purchased a 1530 in 1991, which is the model just below the 1630. My 1530 was a great machine. Before I purchased this I would visit with a Bernina dealer to see what a fair price would be. I think $600 is on the high side. I sold my 1530 five years ago for $350. It too had numerous presser feet, including a walking foot. The table is standard with the machine.
