No experience with that motor or that vendor, but that's the sort of thing you want.
I am seriously considering it, I shall probably look at Ebay as per David's suggestion, even if it's a UK one my father is in the UK at the end of the month and might be able to pick it up then.
You are wrong on that it is only a sticker, original 950 was made in switzerland. and it says so on the machine. the newer ones were made with licence in thailand, they are marked as bernina and tacsew. those are shit and not a bernina at all. with an original swiss model you will never go to a mechanic. EVER!
Somebody never looks at dates when replying to s.e.v.e.n. y.e.a.r. o.l.d. posts Last reply made to this thread was January 11, 2014 before you dug it up and replied. Somehow, I don't think any of the previous posters are interested in your revelation.
Adding useful information to an old thread isn't a bad thing - ... there are times when a person is searching for information and discovers an old thread with newer information and it's also helpful ! Imagine that. I do wonder though - what is served by adding only ridicule .. .. about the date of the posts ? John T.
Really? Adding information to a dead, 7-year-old thread is useful? How is it useful when no one in the last 7 years inquired about this machine?
My 'ridicule' hopefully will open the eyes of clueless posters to check dates of threads they are replying to and not think the world is tapping their fingers awaiting an answer to this old subject.
I suspect that you have some very valuable knowledge and experience with sewing and sewing machines - - please feel free to share ! .. regardless of the thread's date-line ..
New info could certainly be very useful to new/future searchers. Especially when the subject line is specific to make/model/topic - .. eg. in my area these old Bernina seem to be a very favoured < and pricy ! > item - so people want to get as much info as they can when they acquire one from Aunt Ethel - and they scour the web and forums for any & all threads - many are using google groups and home-moaners-hub or whatever and don't know or care about the date of the original post or the replies. ... you are not teaching them anything ...
In the past - I have found a few excellent Yahoo Groups - < I haven't visited there in quite a few years >
which keep archived threads for this very reason - - some long-dead olde-tyme regulars have posted * ** pearls of wisdom ** * that a new/young enthusiast will treasure ! some of these groups even have folders full of photos & service manuals & other great info. Sample groups that I have found very useful - : Vintage Elna sewing machines : Vintage Necchi sewing machines : Vintage WheelHorse garden tractors : Small Engines
If everyone keeps a kind and positive attitude - it might help in encouraging and supporting the newby posters - rather than presenting a negative or discouraging face. Happy April all ! ... all-too-soon .. :-) John T.
