Bernina 730 Record Sewing Machine

Wouldn't it be nice if you could find a brand new Bernina 730? There probably is a new one in some dark basement in Switzerland, waiting to be re-discovered.

Here's one that was nearly new when we put it up on the restoration bench. We took it apart and cleaned it from the inside-out, so now it might as well be brand new. It may have been a gift or bought with the intention of learning to sew, but for whatever reason, it just barely got used.

This is the proverbial "Swiss Sewing Machine" that fine machines everywhere are compared to. The Bernina is the pinnacle of high quality sewing machines. The Best of the Best.

It comes in it's own carry case and includes the manual and a lavish set of attachments in an attached, drawered cabinet. It runs and sews, as well as looks, like a new machine.

It's priced a little higher than the average garage-sale-find sewing machine but you really do get what you pay for. We're so confident in this fine machine and in the work we do that we've guaranteed it for life. If you ever have a problem with this machine, just bring or send it back to us and if it's something that we can fix, we'll fix it for free. You, of course, will pay for any parts or shipping.

Here at Stagecoach Road Vintage Sewing Machines, we are passionate about what we do, which is restoring beautiful vintage sewing machines to the best that they can be, because we are in love with the styling, the quality of the materials, the workmanship that went into these great machines, which just can't be duplicated today.

You, seriously, cannot buy a machine this good, new.

So we search out the best of these fine machines, the ones that are very lightly used, and open them up. We disassemble the tension, the motor, the bobbin case, take off the face plate, the gear cases, the hand-wheel, the slide plate, the bottom plate, and the back access plate and get down to where the old dried-on oil and grease are. We clean out the packed-in lint and dust, remove the thread-jams, inspect the hook and the needle plate, and generally look for potential problems.

We use high-quality lubricants in all the right places, getting into those spots that aren't as obvious to the average user, and clean out the old hardened grease from the gear cases, then we test the machines to make sure that they are sewing at their best.

Each machine is tested at the restoration bench and then tested again by our quality control technician to be sure we haven't missed anything. She's not only a master technician, she's a seamstress who knows what a seam should look like.

After all of this, each machine is carefully detailed, to bring out it's original beauty. These are some of the finest examples of mid-century styling that you'll find, and we want each machine to be the very best that it can be.

We don't try to hide the scratches or chips that have been honestly earned in service to their craft. We like the wabi-sabi beauty of a working sewing machine.

Finally, because we believe in these wonderful, built-to-last machines and in the work we do, we offer this free Lifetime Guaranty:

If you ever have a problem with one of our restored vintage machines, just bring or send it back to us and if we can fix it, we'll do so for free. You, of course, will pay for any parts or shipping.

Sorry, it's SOLD!
