Gosh, that'd make me sad for sure! Love my Bernina just as much now as when I bought it 16 yrs ago.
My 1984 Kenmore... Well, it DOES work, so for basic sewing, straight seams, I'd go with the Kenmore for now. It's there, and using it will help pay for whatever repairs are needed on the Bernina.

the BERNINA is just in a coma, went through that with my 1630 and the techs at BERNINA U.S.A. in Chicago fixed it ! but while it was out i reaquainted myself with my travel Bernette 55 and my 301A, still love that 301 straight stitch

I'd like to suggest you use one of the sewing machines you have - clean up that treadle!!! and save the $200 to repair you Bernina. Then once it's repaired you can decide if you want to trade it in on a new one or not. As far as what kind you get, it depends on what kind of sewing you do. Do you like embroidery? Since you bought that new foot, you must do "other than quilting." Good luck getting your projects done. 8-)
