have it fixed...at Christmas time Bernina 930's that did not even have all of the original parts were selling on Ebay for over $1,500.00!
If you send it in to be REFURBISHED, it will be like a NEW one...man it will last the rest of your life and a daughter's!

Ooooooo, so sorry! Didn't realize this could happen! I bought a 930 in January and love her tooooo much. If the $275 will have your machine up and running again, spend it! Because $275 can't get you anything like that Bernina in a new machine. I haven't seen a 930 for less than $500 plus shipping, even without accessories. BUT, if you decide not to fix it and want to sell its accessories so as not to be haunted by longing, PM me. I'd happily buy spare parts for mine because she will never die, never, never, never...

If you truly love the machine, bite the bullet and repair it. I have a Pfaff at the repair shop right now and the bill will be over $300 but I don't care. I really love thta machine and it is no good to me if it doesn't operate properly and I can't buy a new one, or even another used one like it for that price, so I'm getting it repaired. It's been used hard and no wonder it needs a little help now and then.

You definately should spend the money and repair it. It's a great machine. The $275 fee is for the tech to take the board out of the machine... return the board to Bernina for repair and then replace board and I assume do a tune-up etc. I work for a Bernina Dealer and this is what we have to do with the older machines, as new boards are no longer available.
