Bernina Record 830 GONE
« on: July 09, 2022, 19:40:53 PM »
A somewhat battered old lady of a machine, but has new capacitors (from the Bernina Doctor and fitted for me by OH) and is cleaned and oiled.
I will be sewing every pattern from the original book to make sure all the cams work well, but it's good so far  :)
Has 8 feet, 10 bobbins, the darning ring and the extension table.
Original red case, red accessories box (broken catch) and all leads and foot.

** Does not have the manual, or the knee lift bar, although it would take one and they can still be purchased new.

Thought I'd let folks know here before I put it up online next week, if anyone is interested in snagging one.
Price on eBay dropped to £100 - keen to make some space.

I don't have photographs yet, but let me know if you want to see it.
Would need to be collected from the Somerset area, although I'll drive an hour or so in any direction if that helps.

Price is £100 on eBay but would be happy to bring it down for someone here. If you're interested do please say, can't believe such a lovely machine not going.

I would be so tempted if I wasn't at the other end of England!

Do you know anyone who is due to travel down south anytime? I could deliver it to them . . .
My daughter visits me from Hull - but she's five foot tall and travels by coach so I don't think she's going to be able to help us LOL

I would pack it for a courier, but I'm always worried abut how carefully the treat things.

Funnily enough  @LeilaMay my family is from Hull but yes,  I wouldn't fancy it in the luggage hold of a coach any more than a van.


The shop I bought my machines from delivers in person,  when they can,  for people fairly local. If you don't find anyone more local,  I wouid be prepared to take the risk,  though.

I was wondering whether we couldn't whip up a Sewing Place Relay team between Glastonbury and where you are - if everyone would agree to do a 'leg' we could shuttle it northwards  :)

If it could travel as far as Leeds-ish,  I could probably persuade husband to make the drive. I know we're a  bit sparse,  further north than that.
