Older Computerized Berninas
#1
Are any of you nervous about buying older computerized Berninas? I found a 1230 I'm smitten with, but it isn't cheap, and I'm nervous about it "giving up" on me too soon. My local dealer, of course, encouraged these feelings of insecurity, saying I was better off buying a newish 210 than a used 1230. The 210 is nice, but it doesn't have as many features as the 1230. What do y'all think on this matter? :?: :) :?:

I had my 1090 for 15 years before i had to replace my board at the cost of 150. and then i sewed on it for another 10 before trading it in on a 1530 which i got last year and its old also and cost me 600. but i was able to trade my 1090 in on it and took off 200. so in the end it was 400.

Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. Mine went nuts when I tried to make it brighter. Took it in only to find out my Motherboard was going, he set the brightness and told me not to move it and maybe it would last. So I don't move it and have had no trouble since...knock on wood. My machine is a Pfaff.

I have a Bernina 1080 and I just had to have the mother-board replaced, along with replacing some parts in the foot pedal. I LOVE MY BERNIE. I have had her for 15-20 years and I don't think the price to get her fixed is to bad. I really work her hard.
