Thanks for this video. I just picked up a Record 730, it needs a good cleaning but everything checks out so far. What a nice machine. This will help a lot!
Omg im so happy I found this video!!! I have had a Bernina 700 series (I can't remember the exact model name its from the 1960s), I've had the machine for 15+ years but never understood how it worked and I've carried it across 6 countries without ever using it. This video is giving me the confidence to take another look at it.
Thank you for this video!!! The directions and explanation are great! I got the bushings back into the machine by using the large tweezers on both sides of the bushing housing and just dropping it in! Now onto the belt adjustment video!
Great video!!! Planning on purchasing a 730 record this weekend. Seller is selling it for $50( US dollars). They haven’t used it in over 20 years. Taking a chance on this one. Any pointers or recommendations? Your videos have taught me so much and made me more knowledgeable on what to ask before purchases.
Hi I have the same machine which was my late mother's. The feet are dull and looking a bit discoloured. Would you know how I can clean them with and get them shinny again?
I have just found my mum's bernina 730 , I wanted to check motor bushes but looks very different under the cover to yours ? Not sure where to start ? I wish I could add a photo to this ?
Thanks so much for the videos. My 730 went pop and smoked a lot, and after watching your video - sure enough, the capacitor has blown apart (and potentially not a blown motor like the Bernina lady told me it was...). I'm a bit stuck though, as my 730 motor set up looks quite different to the one in the video, and the green and yellow striped earth coming from the capacitor doesn't appear to be connected to the motor via an eye, but goes straight onto the motor instead. Are they sometimes soldered on? The capacitor is completely circular, not a flattened shape like in the video too... Do you fix other peoples machines (for a fee) as I am now stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated (I am based in the Waikato) Cheers, Ali.

The 730 is generally fairly reliable. Check the plastic cam stack gear hasn't got a crack in it. Cheers.

Thanks for the nice video. Do you know where can i find replacement capacitor of this type? Thank you
They are normally made up of a set of four off the shelf capacitors.
i realize it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online ?
@Adriel Kolton Try flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Jensen Byron Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :D
@Jensen Byron Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!!

Hi Ali. Yes I repair other people's machines. Please contact me via my email address which is in the video description. Thanks.
Ours did too.. Hope we can find a replacement, if that's indeed the problem, haven't checked to make sure.
