It moves back and forward just the button will not come out as shown in the video for I believe the stops. It also lifts up slightly, just not up or down of which I think releases the button. Is that right?
Will watch the video again but think all they said is that it is easily fixed with the oil and a blow dryer. Yeah right!

I tested mine out this morning and the knob is stuck on mine too. While I was sitting there I realized that you can make one with out the maker. All you do is with the needle in the left setting, run a thin line of satin stitching as long as the button hole you want, stop and click it to number 2 and do the tack, turn you whole work, lift the needle and change the needle position to the right, do the line of satin stitching, turn to number 2 setting, tack, and then to 0 and machine knot it. I haven't tried it, but why wouldn't it work?

Makes sense and I understand. Thanks for letting me know. I have never had any Bernina and usually try my best to get them back working as they were. Sometimes that just is necessary. I have read here how much they are desired and wanted to do my best. All the stitches work and it is very quiet, will be happy with things as they are. Really appreciate all the help.
Thanks again,
Lisa

Oh does anyone know how to get the musty smell out of the case? I hate to replace that too. I like to keep things as original as I can.

I use a trouble light to remove the musty smells and have had great luck with that. You position the light inside the cases making sure it does not touch anything. My understanding is that the heat kills the mold. I leave it and reposition it so it faces all sides for several days but it cannot touch any sides. I believe the low heat is what takes care of the smell. I close the lid partially as well. I am very careful! So far have not burned anything but I do use a low watt bulb and that maybe is why it takes a little longer sometimes. As you can see I'm NO photographer! Hope this helps. You can also hang it from the cord in the Bernina case leaving an opening for heat to escape if need be.
