Just as a data point, 5 years ago I sold my non-working (needed a $1000+ circuit board) 180 plus embroidery unit and extra feet for $100 on Craigslist. Had a gal drive 2 hours to pick it up (she only cared about the embroidery unit). Glad to be rid of it (it had very low stitch count and peeved me no end about the circuit board). The lack of local serviceability (area Bernina dealer wouldn't touch it) soured me on the brand.
