We strive to offer only the best machines, always in the most outstanding condition, and this 1230 is a perfect example of the quality standards we diligently maintain. These same standards must also be met by the parts you can't see in the photos.
I have completely cleaned, lubricated, timed and balanced this machine to perfection. All features are 100% functional.
Original built-in incandescent lighting upgraded to high-output, daylight spectrum SMD LEDs to provide better illumination to your work area and to reduce the amount of heat rising into the machine, where it could potentially damage sensitive board components and switches.
Additionally, all control boards have been thoroughly inspected and tested for weak points and excessive heat production which can significantly shorten the lifespan of electronic machines.
Backed by a 2-Year Guarantee from SOS Machines, a 1230 in this condition is not easy to find.

A lovely piece in remarkably good condition all-around, with slightly less than the typical amount of scratches and chips. Decals are in remarkable condition and mostly intact.
100% original, with the exception of fresh cords/wires/plugs. I wanted to retrofit the power receptacle to accept a standard, common style lead cord. That way if it gets lost, no worries.
Includes original foot control and manual.
This machine is fully-functional (see photo -- it produces a lovely stitch), and guaranteed for 2 years.
Comes with original carrying case, caddy, lots of bobbins* & bobbin case, a few original attachments, LED Upgrade, 2 new belts & original light bulb as spare.
This charming little classic machine is an undeniably essential component to the "American Way" of life we have all grown so accustomed to today. It represents American ingenuity in it's purest, most honest form.
All work performed by SOS Machines.
Please know that all machines are shipped with care and caution, paying attention to the details that are key to receiving an undamaged item. I prefer to use UPS, even though it may not be displayed by Etsy as as an option. All machines will ship UPS by default.

* Do you already own a Sewhandy or Model A? Running low on bobbins? If you could benefit from having a few more on hand, drop me a line and I will provide you with them.

We strive to offer only the best machines, always in the most outstanding condition. This Bernina 1080 S is no exception.

Additionally, its circuit boards have been thoroughly inspected and tested for weak points and excessive heat production, ensuring many more years of reliable operation to look forward to.

Bernina 1008 Sewing Machine -- Special Limited Blackout Edition Custom Finish -- w/2yr. Warranty.
You are purchasing a fully-serviced, premium grade, heavy-duty, vintage portable workhorse sewing machine.
The 1008 is the worldwide classroom standard due to its rugged, virtually indestructible mechanical design and unparalleled build quality.
Because of its consistently high demand, Bernina manufactured the 1008 for 20 years straight, barely making any alterations to the original design right up until production ceased in 2020.
One change they did make was to spruce up the outdated 90's pastel splash graphics with a simple brushed aluminum finish.
This particular machine was manufactured a few years before the graphics were updated. Having seen more than enough of that version, I decided to change it up. This custom finish is NOT paint, so it will not peel, flake, crack, lift or chip.
I also updated the lighting to high-output LED and replaced the hook with a solid metal, hardened steel version from the 1230.
The machine is all set and ready to get busy sewing.
It comes with its original presser foot #1 and the low shank adapter so any low shank specialty feet can be attached easily.
Also included are: original foot control, original accessory storage box with matching finish, extra bobbins, hard printed manual, 2-Year Guarantee from SOS Machines and unlimited tech support anytime you may need it, for as long as you own the machine.
If you've already owned a 1008, this machine will challenge you to prove just how well you know it. If this is your first 1008, it will make sure you get to know it on a level so deep you'll be able to operate it blindfolded. 😎

This Bernina 1020 is in immaculate condition. Cosmetically and mechanically it's just about as close to new as you'll find anywhere. Unless you're lucky enough to have purchased one when they were new, you've probably never seen one this clean.
The 1020 is identical to the 1030, but without the basting stitch/long stitch features. It does have the electronic needle up/down position control built in to the foot pedal.
This is a fully-serviced, 100% functional, premium grade vintage workhorse sewing machine, backed by a 2-Year Guarantee from SOS Machines. It requires 220V & comes with transformer.
Although the 1020 is a mechanical machine at its core and is NOT computerized, don't allow yourself to be convinced that it doesn't rely upon a printed circuit board in order to operate. If you did, you'd be wrong... I GUARANTEE it.
This is a significant decision to make and I encourage you to shop around. You will undoubtedly come across the same model being offered by other sellers at a lower price. That's perfectly fine. But please beware of those who are attempting to match my pricing. It is without justification and I can assure you it's the ONLY aspect they can hope to imitate. I offer thoughtfully fitted upgrades, exceptional service, an unheard of Guarantee and free technical support for as long as you own the machine. Naturally, these perks and enhancements add to its value. If you end up buying elsewhere at the same price you'll just be paying more, without any additional benefits in return.
In this particular scenario, it is definitely worth spending a little more to have the peace of mind that a 2 year guarantee provides.
Your Purchase Includes:
Upgraded LED Illumination Package (400 Lumen, 6000K White Daylight)
Original Foot control w/Needle ⇵
Original Bernina Work Bed Extension
Original Bernina attachments & tools in original box
Original Bernina hard case w/storage
Low shank presser foot adapter
Bobbins
Owner's Manual (PDF)
Step-Up Transformer

This listing is for a SERVICE to repair the PC Board in your EXISTING classic Bernina sewing machine. For eligible models, scroll to the end.
You may have been told at some point that your machine is irreparable due to a circuit board failure because parts are no longer available or that there are no Bernina technicians with the know-how to perform such repairs anymore. This simply isn't true. The short version of a long story is that it's much easier and lucrative for whomever told you this if you just buy a new machine. (Maybe trade your old one in, too, so it can be cannibalized for its valuable parts.) Sound familiar?
Unfortunately, this is the cold hard truth about what's happening and why it's so commonplace. It also goes against everything I stand for, not just ethically speaking, but the core principle of what my company is based upon: that they don't make machines like they used to and the ones that still exist need to be kept alive whenever possible -- hence the name: SaveOurSewing Machines.
After purchasing this service you will need to send me your machine. I have detailed instructions to guide you through the proper packing procedure, ensuring the machine arrives without shipping damage. It will need to be insured for the value of a used replacement of the same model. (When I send it back it will be insured for the FULL VALUE of a completely functional, refurbished machine.)
Your machine will need to stay with me for approximately two weeks. The finished item will be shipped to you NEXT DAY, upon its completion.
In addition to repairing the board, your machine will be fully-serviced and once again be performing as if it were new. By going through the entire machine and addressing any other issues I may find, it allows me to guarantee my work, for your peace of mind.
Not every machine sent to me will be repairable. Occasionally, one will come along which is just too far gone, for whatever reason. In this case, I will discuss your other options with you. If nothing is a satisfactory substitute, your machine will be returned to you and you will be issued a full refund, minus return shipping costs.
Upon making your purchase you will be provided with my mailing address (zip code 95037) and instructions on how to proceed with packing (as mentioned above), as well as the best, most affordable and reliable shipping options. The goal is to make this process as seamless and as easy for you as possible.
The total cost of this service covers the circuit board repair, machine service, LED lighting upgrade and return shipping, with insurance. It does NOT include any additional parts which may be required or the initial cost of shipping the machine to me. (Often, additional parts aren't required at all. If they are, it's usually something minor like a needle plate, spool pin or new hook.)
Bernina models eligible for this service are:
1020, 1021, 1030, 1031, 1050, 1070, 1080, 1090, 1091, 1130, 1120, 1230, 1240, 1241, 1260
($55.00 shipping)
Exceptionally clean, 1-owner machine.
