Bernina feet aren't difficult to find, but not easy to find at a price you rather have it. They turn up though; from almost any model 800 numbers and down will fit your machine, and a few newer too. I think you just have to buy a new bobbin case, I doubt it can be glued.

The pedal sounds like it can be fixed, there are a few repair guys in the yahoo group, they might know whats' wrong. I expect a bit of work and to spend a bit on a fix up machine, I guess I would hand one if for a service (to the right person!), but I actually like to clean up and fix what I can my self.

These Berninas are easy to work with, little to no fuzz with tension, zigzag, finetuning the satin stitch is easy. They are very well behaved machines.

Remember to take out needle and remove presser foot before you pop up the top of the free arm; the finish is easily scratched compared to old Singers. They shine up very well, I have polished mine with liquid car polish.
