Berninas don't frequently show up here in New England, so now I'm thinking I should have grabbed it. Every time I drive by the house of the seller, I think, "I should ring the doorbell and see if they still have that Bernina."
I own 2 730s and they're great machines. I bought them needing new gears. They did not come with the nifty attachment bin that you're talking about as they were in tables. :< The attachments and feet are worth their weight in gold. Brand new replacement feet are $40 each at a Bernina dealer! So, if you can get a machine with a bunch of feet it's really like money in the bank. Those feet could be sold for a good amount at any time and would likely pay for the machine.
