What a lovely machine

This Bernina 117 is a good-looking machine. My wife has owned a Bernina 730 since 1966 and your videos have helped me keep it going for her. Thank You.

Thanks for sharing the solution! I’m a sewing machine mechanic but I only have 6 years under my belt. SO MUCH to learn!!! Which is why I like the job. I have seen similar issues on newer machines that have lots of step motors, but not on an older one quite like this. Thank you for all you do!

Good job Gary,we had one of these years ago,sadly no more. Fine machine,regards Alex

Merry Christmas and Happy mid summer!

Something I found helpful when repairing vintage manual typewriters is helpful here too. If I wasn't sure where the seizure was located, I purged the bearings one at a time with lacquer thinner until I isolated the problem. Thanks for the video, cool machine.

Happy New Year!

I have a black one. Stuck stuck stuck. Will do as you show. Who knows?
