So a few weeks ago , I had the pleasure to service a Bernina 830 . It was in perfect condition . So this 817 is the flatbed version and this one came in not working . Turned out to be the motor and I was fortunate to find parts to fix it . So now it will have another 50 years plus , Mechanically , it is still like new , even though you can tell it’s had over 50 years of good use by the wear to the needle plate .
With a partially empty parking lot , I decided to also clear up a misconception some have had .
