I'm at that point also. I can't buy any more machines or furniture or dishes unless I get rid of something!

We went to see the machine. It is very clean but the foot pedal and knee lift bar weren’t with it. She said she would look for them. If she cannot find the missing parts, I can order them but I will try to get her to drop the asking price to compensate my expense. The machine was her mother’s and she remembered making clogging outfits on it years ago. Waiting to hear from her.

One can still use the machine without the knee lift.

The foot pedal is essential!

You can get a new Bernina cord attached to a new electronic foot control on Ebay for around $40. I wouldn't pay the $100 for the original, old worn out ones. The newer ones work just fine.
