Yes, both of them need a good cleaning as well as turn-ups. They were used at a middle school and when they closed the Home Economics Dept, the principal said I could have them.

Great bonus! These would be worth fixing up...Bernina's never seem to die.

Thanks for the info. I will check out the gears when I start cleaning them up. I have check ebay and there are still a lot of replacement parts for this machine. I am just restore them and then decide what I want to do with them.

If they have gone thru years or students learning to sewing, and they are still working, I can tell they are good machines.
