Bernina Record 830 Assessment - Part 1

I run through assessing a Bernina Record 830 and start by looking at what's in store in the case.
Index below.

It's a good idea to start by assessing the motor as see in my previous video -    • Bernina Record 830 - Motor Checking -...  

There's a tight spot when the machine is turned over and I the problem is tracked down.

The Bernina Record 830 can suffer from a few issues where the plastic gears fail, such as the cam stack gear and the vertical shaft gear and cam (if plastic).

Look out for Part 2 where I fit a new hand wheel and put the machine back together and test it.
