The truly sad thing is, I just bought this about 5 months ago from a dear friend for $700. It was well maintained, and I had it serviced as soon as I bought it.
I never thought I could be so attached to a piece of machinery, but I cried when it happened. The question is, should i fix it? Look for another?? Does anyone have an experience with a fried board???

I have been sewing on my old Bernina 830 for at least 35 years. It is a wonderful machine. My foot pedal broke a few months ago and after finding out how expensive the foot pedals were, my husband fixed it by purchasing graphite pins on the internet for MUCH less. I love that machine!
