    Oh here is a place for us to document our machines, a place where we can post photos and the pertinent information about them. Like the serial, make, model, etc. We can still discuss them over here in the shop but I want a place so we can build a data base of machines so we can identify ones that we score down the road.

    Here is the link......

    the bigger dogs tell her otherwise.
    Thanks for answering my question. :lol:

    Thanks for rescuing her. I don't know how long you have had her, but she will be your best bud. She will remember that you came to her rescue.
    Annie has been here since 2007, she is a sweetie and loves to cuddle. She earns her kibble by helping the other 3 dogs keep our acre free of rabbits and voles, she even likes the occasional grasshopper.
    I thought I was looking at Mollie. They could be twins. She is beautiful.

The power does not go on when it is plugged in - no power at all. Is there some way to clean the contacts? Any info would help.
    It is called a Record - the stitch selector doesn't move, the zig zag knob doesn't move and there is no power - I wonder if it could be hard wired. I oiled it up so I may try a little heat in a couple days and see if anything moves. I searched on line for info but I'm thinking someone who actually has one might know more than I'm finding. It does zig zag and straight but the part with all the nice stitches doesn't budge.

    Someone with that type of machine posted a photo on the VSMS photo area. Maybe s/he could be a resource for you. HTH. ~ Chris

    Miriam, have you joined the Bernina Yahoo group? BerninaThirtySomethings


    Also this Pattern Review thread has a link to download the manual, that might help too?
    Is there anyone know about BERNINA RECORD 530-1?

    Sorry you'll have to search for both as the links continually gave error messages when trying to send them.

    If you still have questions ask again and I'll try and dig back through my archive (some people call theirs a brain!!) as I used to own a 730 Record many years ago.

    Good luck with your search.

    Thats okay It will take a while for me to do mine also.

    But if anyone wants to post photos of their machines feel free to include some close ups of certain areas of interest. Anything that can help us identify the different makers like Free, National, Domestic, and other manufacturers that have similar features.

    Thanks - I did join the yahoo group but I didn't really find much out there. It appears to be a very nice machine if I can make it work. It is not very used. It is called Bernina Record 530-2 it has a free arm - things just pop off to clean and it wasn't very dirty and it is very clean now... I wonder if heat would hurt it any? There seems to be a plastic gear in there.
