Yeah... pretty stupid decision on Bernina's part. Now we have to call our old 830s, Bernina
Records. I somehow resent that!
I remember wanting the 830 So much back in the late 70's, but the price was $1080, way out of reach for me. (Remember Bernina sold this model as their top of the line for 20 years, it was that good.) I was able to buy one later, secondhand, for about $300. I ran the heck out of that machine, replacing the motor along the way, and then bought a second one when I found it used but in like new condition (the owner had only about 10 hours of sewing on it.) I still have that machine and have it set up beside my Juki quilter. I love it... so well built and so easy to pop open to clean. (Why can't they make all machines to do that?) I will never sell it.
