Hi, I have just purchased used good conditioned Bernina Record 830 sewing machine. But motor to pully best is missing would you please guide me from where I can get company original belt? I am from India (Gujarat).

Thank you for sharing your great knowledge with us. God Bless you always Greetings from California 😊

I have this machine and suddenly it won't switch off

Funny thing, I used to manufacture grease (Calcium Sulfanated, as well as Poly Urea). The stuff is so darn "sticky" that when the solvents evaporate, Holey Smokes is that stuff sticks like an adhesive! It's a real bear to remove. Strong solvents will get it done.

我没看说明就操作，底线乱了，清洗后梭心就不动，怎么办？

I really appreciate the hand placement during the critical moments of detail (can't see anything) LOL

I couldn't see the needle threader procedure . It should have been a close up shot.

How can remove old hard oil from swing machine?👍

Great information! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Молодец! 🎉

Молодец! 🎉 Большое спасибо!

Trying desperately to find parts for this machine...any ideas?

Hi Alan, didn’t you do.vide on if the bobbin doesn’t spin? I declutch, the bobbin doesn’t sing [and yes it is locked into place] and in addition the needle is going up and down. Do I need to look at the clutch?

do you have any solvents that you can recommend to dissolve old grease such as CRC plastic-safe cleaner or CRC QD Electronic cleaner (plastic safe)?

My oldest machine is from the late 70s. Another is from the 90s. What is the best grease to use on plastic gears?

Great video! Very clear and concise. Thanks!

Where do you buy dental picks?

Grease is mineral oil mixed with a thickener, the thickener is usually soap or bentonite clay. Lubricity additives are also used.. the consistency matters, and runs from 00, up to 6 00 being the thinnest. a little oil can be used to soften the harder grease, then get rid of the old stuff, and use the correct consistency grease. sewing machine oil has a viscosity of about 20, as does motor oil SAE 20 (SAE numbers do not reflect viscosity, it just happens to be the same at this point)

This was so helpful! Thanks :)

Where can I find/buy extension arm only?

I'm back again to tell you I got the Feed gears and hook gears replaced on my machine. The feed gears began to shred away and then I couldn't sew. So I thought it might be a good idea to also replace the hook gears as well so that I didn't have to return for more service right away. I have a question regarding the kind of grease one should use on the now new nylon gears. (my new ones look like white plastic). What grease does one need to maintain them? Since i have little experience with grease products, you may need to provide more information than normal. It's been a year since they've been replaced and thinking it wouldn't hurt to see if they need any. Thank you

Thank you. Presser foot won’t go down. I took the side off and found all gray gook and the black ring. Is it enough to just pull/wipe it all off? Some videos say to use alcohol to clean it. Also how to clean battery corrosion off?

Hi ABBE, Thanks for video. I got my Huscuvarna Classica 100, and it is sewing great. In the manual that comes with the machine it shows in diagram that machine has upper and lower thread cutters but I am unable to find upper thread cutter. Watched the videos about Classica and Optima and people are using scissors, Does your Optima has thread cutters?

Hi , I just bought a Bernina 830 record but I need to replace the pedal and cord to original . I’ve searched on eBay and cannot find one for sale . Any suggestions or sites I can search ? Thanks

Excellent video. I just cleaned one of my Kenmore machines and after watching this video I am going to go back and do a more thorough job. I am convinced it will be worth my time.

We just bought a Pfaff 1475 CD Sewing Machine. It sat for many years. The Presser foot was seized. I cleaned out the top and oiled everything. I didn't use any grease so I need to go back in and grease the gears. The handwheel doesn't turn very easy but the Machine sews just fine. I'm thinking maybe the bottom cover of the Machine needs to come off for service. The Sewing repair shop told me that because of the AA cells in the bottom for memory backup, it's very difficult to remove the bottom cover without damaging the Machine. They said they'd do it for $200. Seems like it can't be that difficult? Or is it?

hi,are you still doing dem on this machine.i have this machine love it,just had an issue with needle break replace the needlle did the normal re thread, now the trouble.the top thread is not picking up the bottom bobbin thread. what may be the problem may you suggest. tried a few things,cleaning,re threading. i await your suggestion

Thank you Sir ... For sharing and educating me on this...🤗✨ watching and learning from the South Pacifics island...🇻🇺 thank you

Hi there. I have an old 830 Record. Broke a needle today, and now the bobbin is jammed. I dismantled the bobbin case, thinking it would be straightforward, removed the broken needle, but the machine is still jammed. I'm trying to find your video on the Bernina bobbin case. Can you please point me to it?

GREAT video where do I buy the proper lubricant and what brand? Would home Depot have it?

Hello Allen. Love your videos. Well, I find that my Elna 6003 doesn’t have pretty stitches. It looks like 1 line? I tried increasing length but same look? Help? Thanks!!

I got this machine for Christmas 1975. Only recently it will just stop when I'm sewing. Had it repaired a few years ago for the same issue at the same place it was purchased. The man has since retired. I love this machine. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Very informative! Thank you!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Can you help us troubleshoot our Bernina 830 that we inherited from Grandma? 😂

I have a Bernina 830 record bought in 1977. It simply will not start since I haven't used in for a time maybe. What to do ?

Thank you Allen, love the videos on Bernina 830. I use mine every day but it's got one annoying habit. The knob to change from sewing to earning moves over to darn. Then the sewing straight stitching stops.😊 I've checked and cleaned it. All appears to be well.

the back thread guide snapped off so thread from bobbin isnt held to feed through the first tension on top oa machine. Can i replace the metal thread guide?

Great video. Really easy to follow. Sewing machine manuals are pretty rubbish with regards to cleaning and oiling. Mine just says take to an engineer to be serviced. As if I'm going to do that when I live on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. My daughter has my old heavy duty sewing machine as I opted for a newer lighter model to transport here. Big mistake. My old one was so much easier to access for oiling and maintenance. New one not so much. Lots of photos involved and far too many plastic bits to damage!

I need the bobbin refill on the bernina 830 on the screen to show the icons

Thanks for sharing this video. I have my grandma's 1964 White sewing machine which was sewing well a year ago, and then was misbehaving when I recently pulled it out. Your video helped me figure out how to clean and lube the machine, and because I was in there checking the movement on everything, I also figured out how to make another adjustment to improve performance. I wouldn't have know what to do without your information and demonstration. I was even able to complete a project this afternoon for my granddaughter in time for Easter... so, she will have something made on her great great grandma's machine. How cool is that?!?!

@ABBEREPAIR any idea why my reverse isn't working on elna 6003?

Where can i purchase bobbin case and holder

I have the 830 too

Where is the video on how to remove that clutch for oiling?

Hi Allen, you just serviced my Bernina 830 record and it runs beautifully! Moving forward, I want to do my own maintenance, so this video is perfect. Thanks for taking the time and effort to provide this thorough explanation.

That machine is made by Janome. It uses a standard class 15 bobbin ( Not an Elna bobbin ) and there is a vertical spool pin in the accessory kit..

Hi - I'm so glad I ran into this video. I just today purchased the 830 record from Marketplace. It's working as far as I can tell and I'm waiting for some oil I just purchased to get here so I can lubricate it. If it seems to be working fine, should I still bring it in for service? I'm from the Twin Cities myself! Thank you!

Hi Allen, you may have mentioned this already, but can you recommend a brand of grease to use? I have singer sewing machine oil. Thank you
