JoeJr, Thank you. I have tried that many times. Had my husband look at it as well. But I will try again and look more closely. The lever moves freely but it must not be catching on something.

Asking price for Bernina
I have a chance to purchase a Bernina model 830 in a nice cabinet. Single owner. Looks very clean inside. They are asking $300. Is that a reasonable price?
