  • Class: Residential
  • Features: Cord
  • MPN: 730 Record
  • Model: 730 Record
  • Condition: This machine has been cleaned and serviced and is running like a champ. Working condition is excellent. Cosmetic condition is Very Good with a little bit of scuffed paint to bare metal on stitch plate. Knobs and handles in tact and moving freely. Cam stack gear is in tact. Vertical shaft gear is in tact. Motor brushes have been checked and running smoothly. Pedal has been cleaned and is operating smoothly. Cord has one burned spot which appears to be from the outside, not inside. I will cover that with electrical tape but want you to be aware of this. See pictures. The buttonhole knob moves left to right but does not move vertically to engage. This seems to be common on older 730s. The variable speed motor switches from low to high. The darning knob engages to raise and lower feed dogs. The knee bar is missing. This does not effect operation of the machine as the pedal controls the operation, but the knee bar would have been useful to raise /lower the needle. Description continued…

    Description

    We have made some repair to reenforce the case. The case on the vintage 730 Record is in good condition, but over the years has shown some deterioration and not quite up to my standard for carrying such a heavy machine. It is clean though looks good for display though. Included with this purchase is an original Bernina Accessory Box with a treasure trove of accessories. The original 730 manual is included with some original Bernina merchandising.  The original extension table is included.
    This machine will be carefully bubble wrapped before being placed in the case and then padded again for shipping.
    Power: 110-120 volts (for USA)
    Year of Manufacture: 1970

    ABOUT THE SELLER: I am a vintage sewing machine enthusiast, especially Bernina but will occasionally venture out for a Singer 400 series or Elna Supermatic... so basically the 1950s up as far as the mid 70s. These well-built, mostly metal machines are a pleasure to work on with parts still accessible. Really, I love rescuing them like stray kittens. Sometimes they come to us seized up from lack of maintenance and just need a good cleaning. Others need new gears and random parts. My husband enjoys working on machines. So, I buy them, he tunes them up, cleans them and makes repairs as needed then I resell. We do not accept returns. We have been requested to accept a return simply because a buyer decided it was out of their budget or didn’t think the light was bright enough. Please understand that we cannot accept buyer’s remorse as a reason for return. We didn’t build these machines but will make every effort to pass them along to you in a quality similar to the manufacturer’s intent. That said though, if the machine arrives damaged, of course we will work with the carrier to file insurance claims and make it right. This sewing machine will be thoughtfully packed and shipped (usually FEDEX) and I will add insurance. I strive to ship very quickly, often on the same business day. Machines will be appropriately padded to prevent abrasion and boxes will be filled with packing peanuts. If you receive a machine from us and the box appears to be damaged upon delivery, please photograph the box before opening. This is helpful for any insurance claim.
