I have a Bernina 830 Record as well. I bought it new back in 1974 for $500 and according to EBay could sell it for that now. I would not sell it, it is still my favorite machine even though it is my backup and in semiretirement. It is still a wonderful machine, though I wish I could get a brighter light for it. Your sewing corner looks so cozy, makes me want to set up one myself....even though I now have a sewing room with three machines in it. maybe a little table under the window in the living room so I can watch the birds while I sew. So peaceful. ah sewing....I am addicted! but what a wonderful addiction to have.
