Not so vintage as some, but I had to brib

I found a Bernina Record 830 on Craigslist. It seems to be in good shape, and the dreaded nylon cam thing has been replaced. I am not familiar with Berninas, but I've heard good things about the 830. (Sorry about the weird title, it posted before I could fix it.)

I now have a 730 record which is identical to the 830 but cost $50 (old 830s sell for $450 here) and has none of the plastic stuff. Who did you have to brib(e)? |
I have my Mother's 830 Bernina Record that is fantastic. If anyone could wear out a machine, Mother should have worn this one out!! I have other machines, but this is one that I will Not let go of! Still use it as second...when 630E Bernina is set up for something else.

I have 4 of them. Enough said.
|
I have my mothers 830 record. The cam gear was shot and had to be replaced but it is a super high quality machine.
|
Wow, nice machine and it looks complete, too. Score!! From everything I've read about the 830 (whatever the vintage), you're going to really enjoy it.
|
They are really nice machines - very quiet! And the stitches are terrific!
|
You did good!!!! That is my all time favorite machine to work on!

Just saw your post - I will be picking up one in Florida tomorrow. Will be paying $350 and thought that was a good price. Heard wonderful things and my BabyLoc is in the shop every six months.
