Good deal on the Bernina you need to look at the asking prices on ebay for 730 record. The special stitch drive gear can be had for about 30 bucks and is about the only thing that fails on this machine. You made a good investment.

Very sweet deal. Congrats.Originally Posted by BIG JEFF
Thanks! I was lucky on this one. I even convinced the owner to KEEP the cabinet (I don't need another) unit, so I didn't have to dispose of it.
And, yes, I did look on eBay before I headed out!
I got lucky and found this last weekend.

Nice catch. Necchi machines are missing from my collection, but I'm lurking....
Yep, nice find. I bought one Necchi and quickly bought 3 more.

Really?
They must have been going for a 'retro' look, even then.
the motor was patented in 27. can't find a date on the body, but i think most kenmore and white clones were made about that time.Really?

There is a list I found that tells the years that correspond with the Kenmore/White model numbers. I think I have it at home. If I do, I'll send it, or post a link to the site.
My model number was stamped on a metal tag on the bottom front if the machine.
