Thank you so much for this tutorial. I got a Bernina 830 record from my grandma who passed away and it is my greatest treasure. It's so awesome that these machines are so old and are still working, I also love that I can just fix these kind of things myself because of awesome humans like you that share their knowledge! My button hole switch wouldn't budge and I used the hair dryer and oil trick, now it works! I love how long lasting these machines were made, no sensitive electronics just plain old mechanics that do their job ✌✌👍👍
I'll now mark the spot that needs to be oiled on my machine 😊😊😊😊
thank you! love my 1970s 830 record, still my go-to machine for everything even through I have later models.
This tutorial is superior to the oiling instructions that are listed in the original Bernina manual. Sir, thank you!
Is it ever!!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge - this is so valuable! I recently acquired a Bernina 830 from someone giving it away and I knew it was special. So glad you have shown me how to oil and maintain it. HUGE THANKS.
Jeff I have a far better way to fix the stiff buttonhole mechanism. They sell plastic safe Deep Creep penetrating oil made by Sea Foam. I squirted a real quick shot of it using the tube right at the back of the buttonhole switch let it sit repeat one more very small squirt then I used some synthetic sewing machine oil down on any metal on metal linkage coming from the buttonhole mechanism then used a little heat from hair dryer and it works beautiful turns easy. My machine was bought and just sat never was oiled until I bought it. I oiled like your video and it runs so smooth I can't believe it. I was told the lady purchased and never learnt how to sew. I am now the happy owner of a 1979 Bernina 830 record electronic. I have used Deep Creep to free up several seized up vintage sewing machines .Don't use shellac thinner use Deep Creep. I did appreiciate the video.
I have an 830 and absolutely love her! Thank you for the tips on oiling! Bought her new 46 years ago.
I have just bought a Bernina 830 and am so excited to start using it. This was exactly the information I was looking for to make sure I treat this lovely machine well.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much Jeff! I inherited my mom's 830, and really love sewing with it. You explained so well, and I love the nail polish/paint (just did mine like yours)! I have had it serviced, and the technician had nothing but good to say about this machine, so I was fortunate to come across your video on how to care for it myself. Again, thanks so much for your straightforward, simple explanations!
Thank you so much, your instructions were very clear and it helped me a lot!
Thank you Jeff! This is my husbands account, but I have a Bernina 830 given to me by my 4H leader when I got married and I love it. She bought it new and it’s been lovingly cared for, so I want to make sure I continue that. This video was super helpful!! I really appreciate it. (Also, small world, I grew up in the Grand Junction area. Pretty cool that the best video I found to help me care for my machine is from there too!)
Thanks so much for this! Just finished cleaning and oiling my 1978 830 record electronic. I had no idea the top even opened up (had to have my husband open that up as it was extremely stiff). This was my mother's machine and I feel lucky to have it. Baby quilts are queued up to be pieced and quilted now. Will be using your instructions for cleaning and oiling my walking foot next!
So very appreciated!
Oh my word Jeff ! I cannot thank you enough. I had put mine away as had been playing up and I didn’t want to damage it. It is in mint condition and thanks to my mum who recommended I bought it even tho it cost the money I sold my first car with almost 30 yrs ago. You are prolonging the life of these beauties with your timely care to post. All oiled and running like it just left the factory ! Your lovely calm manner made me confident to do it myself pausing the video as I went along.
Love your videos! Keep making them! 😊
Terrific on lubrication points - I have an 810 - Liz
Just can't thank you enough! My 42 yr old Bernina 830 record electronic, for the first time ever, was making a metal on metal screeching sound. Using your Wonderful Video I was able to oil all the places you marked. And now it hums like new! You saved my machine, and an avoided service charge! Shared it with a friend who has an old Bernina too!
Thank you Jeff! I would have been lost without you! You make things so easy!
I bought an 830 Record because I learnt to sew on it at school a long time ago. I followed your instructions for oiling an everything is working! Thank you Jeff!
Thank you Jeff❤😊
My Bernina 830 Record was also my Mother's - and I treasure it as much as you treasure yours! She used a yellow paint pen to show me where to oil the machine that she spent so much of her time sitting at...
It is lovingly housed in a Horn Sewing Cabinet, making it very simple to work at and keep it tidy as well as dust-free when not in use.
I'm not a great sewer, but occasionally I will make a unique frock for myself. I have just bought a new house and am making my own curtains and saving a bundle on buying made-to-order ones.
I really appreciate your video which helps me keep it in pristine condition - but I would sell my body (not that anyone would buy it, LOL!) before I sold my Mother's sewing machine!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and obvious passion for these lovely machines. 😁
Sweet machine. Love the 830 Record. ❤️
I love the red paint idea!!
I still have this beautiful first machine. And I still use it.
It's a gem.
Jeff, thank you so much for this. My wife inherited her Mother's 830 Record, and has loved it and used it so much. She's been worried about the maintenance on it and then I found your video. She's so happy to know she can refer to this when she needs to. Thanks again, my man!
I have an 830 Record that I bought in 1976 when I worked at Stretch n’ Sew. I have several feet, the red case and manual. Next time I come to Grand Junction I will have you service it. Great video. Learned so much again!
I took lessons at the Stretch n' Sew in Tacoma, WA not long after I bought my Bernina.
What an informative and eloquent video. Thank you.
Thank you for the great video! Just oiled my new to me 830 record and now the bobbin wonder and decorative stitches work. Hallelujah!
Thank you! I learned some new things about my 830 and freed up the stuck feed dog drop, discovered a few new spots to oil, too. Helpful video.
This was such an interesting video! My parents bought me a brand new 830 when I was a teenager. It had the red marks for oiling. I bought a "new" 830 on ebay a number of years ago without the red marks. Because the new machine didn't have the red marks I was confused about how to oil the machine. Now I know. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this video! I have the Bernina 830 Record that I bought new over 45 years ago and it has been my only sewing machine and I love it.
I was just gifted one of these exact machines, without the see-through parts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have a 830 Record, I love it!
Wonderful video! This was so helpful and interesting to see what the inside looked like, and ease of access. I really enjoyed it.
Could you please make a video showing the differences between an 830 and 930 record? The 930 seems to be the penultimate sewing machine, however, the 830 seems to have easier access to the internals, a nicer red case, and a simpler build, ergo a simpler maintenance. In the end, its always about maintenance of things.
I have a machine like the one on the left that my mother bought for me in 1978. I used it and used it! In 2018 I bought a new Bernina 570 series, but I kept the old one because my mother told me to never get rid of it. I still use it for all of my mending and some other sewing. I also do some stitching on paper with it. I didn’t know I could oil it myself! Our Bernina dealer here in Casper, Wyoming closed last year 😢. Guess I need to find a new dealer to get my 570 serviced.
Thank you so much for understanding generation turning to RUclips for help. I am a visual leaner and this helps so much!
What an excellent tutorial on oiling the Bernina 830 Record! Mine should be delivered today, and I'm so excited. I just purchased your Yellow Cap Oil so I'm ready for her! (:
So cool on the cut outs!
Thank you, thank you!!! I cherish my 830 and want to hand it down to my Grand daughter! Your video is excellent!
You are welcome
My 830 record was sounding awful noisy when I began to sew today. I oiled according to your instructions and now she is humming along quietly! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I learned so much. I really appreciate this tip about where to oil the machine. You are extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. Thanks!
Hi Bernina Jeff, I bought my Bernina in 1976. Recently, it started making some unusual sounds. I felt the motor was dying and I thought maybe it needed a new belt. I took it to two different people to be serviced, one of them a certified Bernina repairperson. They serviced it and told me there was nothing was wrong with it. OK. I didn't believe them. Having said that I started a search for a new old Bernina 830 Record. Yesterday I purchased one locally. I wish I had seen this video first. Before I purchased it I sewed on it and noticed that there were tight knobs and the decorative stitch feature didn't work. It has a good straight stitch and zigzag was fine and other features seemed to be working fine. Today, a friend and I were able to "unfreeze" the decorative stitch feature by adding oil. Afterwards I found this video. I have now oiled the new old Bernina and hopefully it will sew like a dream. I LOVE my Bernina and hopefully I can revive the original one too. Thanks for your video. It was a God send.
As I said those are my favorite Bernina machine so glad it is running great it takes a lot to break them like a Rolex
Thank you for your informative video on how to oil my (Grandmas) sewing machine! This machine sure makes great stitches! I'll be looking onto what all the different presser feet do, and attachments too!
I have an 830 record from 1975. I'm using it every day. Thanks for the oiling information.
Hi Jeff. Just wanted to thank you for this video. I have a wonderful Bernina 831 record. She was just ready for a cleaning and oiling. The covers were so easy to maneuver off. I needed to clean where the shuttle was. I had no idea about that little latch. It just popped off. Yes, it needed a cleaning. Thank you. She is humming now!
I was just gifted a vintage 830 which needed oil. This video was very helpful!
Fabulous video. Many thanks. It gave me the confidence to service my machine and best of all, I can now turn the buttonhole knob and make buttonholes! I feared that this needed a visit to a professional but, with your help, I resolved the problem myself. I just love this sewing machine.
Thanks Bernina Jeff. I live too far or else I would have brought my 830 to u for a check up. Brought it in for a tune. Can’t wait to get it back
Excellent, just the info I needed, thank you!
Very helpful! Thank you 😊
Thank you for this! Very helpful and far more informative than the manual I have.
My Bernina 830 was a present to me in 1987 and I still have it. I think I asked your mother once about trading it in on a new one and she said if my still ran to keep it. I'm glad I did!
Good job
I have one...but learned alot.... also have a Bernina 117 vintage.... my lady!!
Thank you for telling us all this stuff
Excellent resource, thanks. Just rescued our 830 from the dead - motor burned up due to brush wear and I was going to bin it but we found a refurbished original motor with new brushes and armature on eBay. Running like a Swiss sewing machine again!
Thank you. 5 years ago I inherited a 1970 vintage 730 record which had been standing unused in Durban, South Africa for years. I have just found out how to get the baseplate off the sewing bed and I cleaned out 20 years of accumulated fluff. I oiled it and now it runs like a Rolls Royce - dead quiet.
Thank you I am grateful.
Thank you for a great video. I have an 830 that was in need of oil. Works GREAT!!! This machine has sewn many garments, curtains, slip covers etc.
Thanks for sharing!
Bernina should really start a rerun of making and selling the 830 and the 807. They would sell these with ease! And there is definitely demand for them. I absolutely love my 807 and 830 both still stitch beautifully and are so reliable I will never part with them as they are fully serviceable and will out live me. They hold their prices because they are great sturdy machines. Unlike the new computerised and plastic part machines. Please Bernina see sense and start making and selling these machines again.
Absolutely Loved the red dots! I would love to see one of these videos so I could copy the red dots on my Bernina 930
I used many types of Machines throughout my life but this is my favourite. Very important information. Thank you I will mark my machine if it is not marked. I got mine in March 2022. Just the feeling is amazing. I used to use a Singer industriel and I loved that one as well but it was just too big and loud for an apartment. Great video, thanks.
Mine since 1971 as a high school graduation gift to myself. Found it stiff at the handwheel. I didn't know to oil all the spots. Good advice to run it every 6 months. Thanks 🙏.
Thank you so much for your taught me , that the small nob under the reverse needs oil. Was very hard to turn that on both sides. Thank you
That little knob works a cylinder that goes in and out a hole. Oil that area by removing the arm cover and follow the linkage from that knob to the cylinder with a point on it
Great video thankyou.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much!
Thankyou for this!! I have this exact 830, purchased in 1975. I love this machine! Going to email you about an issue I'm having. Also, I'm going to colour spot all the oiling locations!!
Thank you!
I had a Bernina 950 and regrettable I sold it. Got a Bernina 930 on eBay today. Glad I did.
Thank you- my mom has “willed” me her 830.
Great! I can actually hear your voice. Thank you
Thank you.
Hi Jeff, I took your advice (you returned my phone call) and bought a 830 record. Super excited!
Nice work!
My daughter gave me an 830 which I love. I followed you on how to clean and oil the machine and removed the cover over the bobbiin area. When I put it back, it won't stay closed. I thought I had pushed the button that latches it back on. Once I close it, when I start to sew, it pops up a little and the door opened enough to not hold the bobbin etc in. II followed your video and I learned about how to take care of my machine. A big thank you from Louisiana.
The little metal latch on the left of the rack cover the black ring needs to be fully engaged sometimes you have to push in hard or even reach in as you push to engage that latch.
Oh it’s not only a thumbs up from me but 💗 as well! The red in my machine is worn off if they existed at all and the diagram in the booklet is little hard to see. This video is a gem!
Thank you. 😁
Thanks! This was really helpful. Can't wait to oil my machine. My buttonhole knob is really hard to turn. I'm not sure about how to fix that.
Thank you again! You helped me fix a tread tension problem. ( it was the screw that needed tightening in the bobbin.) You’ve helped me oil my 930. It’s very similar to the 830. So I was able to oil it. Thanks for all the tips. I love my Bernina
Boy I'd like to see a 700 series with cutouts!
Me too, I am selling a Special Edition 731 on eBay its a 75 year anniversary of something Swiss. I'm planning on doing an oiling video on the 730 record someday.
@@berninajeff Oh please make a video about how to oil a 730! I just got a 731 today. My first sewing machine! I'm so excited. I would love your guidance on how to properly take care of her.
thanks for the tip on the button holer knob...just scored an 830 for 25.00. everything works great..but the button holer is so stiff....
I have a problem with my 830 record which will not zig zag and seems out of alignment after I sent in for service. It came back, and company is closed so I need to get it fixed. Im in nz. I did not know that they were collectable so I will send it to another place to get fixed. Its been a great machine.
Tyvm for letting see where to oil this 830 I've had this machine for 42 years and not been used much and I never knew how to oil it now it runs like a baby but I can't move the button hole knob ☹
Hi Jeff. Thanks for posting all your great knowledge. I have a great old 38/39 vintage 117K. I've used it all the years I've had it since about 1958. It's become a little heavy for me so I'm using a newer Pfaff. It works great. I'd love to get the Bernina into a table that fits it, and still use it. Any advise?
Look for a Bernina 153 or 230 they are good ones
Thank you Jeff. I was wondering what type of oil should be used on this machine? I'm a 72 year old non sewer but I like playing around with the machine to repair clothing, etc. I bought it second hand back in the early 80's and probably have used it 10 times...YIKES. I think it's time to start doing something with it so I need to get this thing oiled. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for this. My “new” machine is an 801, very similar. I can oil it in the same way I should think?
Hi Jeff,
Thanks very much for this video, it has been very useful.
But I can’t see where exactly to oil the point where you say you need some kind of yoga.
Another point I don’t know where to oil is for the wheel to stop the kneel. Could you help me?
Thank you for this informative video. I have an 830 that I purchased in 1976. I love it, but I think it needs some TLC.
Taking it to my local Bernini dealer. I’m sure I haven’t done a good job of oiling it over the years. How often should you oil it and do you recommend any particular oil? Thank you again.
Oil the machine every two to three bobbins full and every could months on moving parts
I second Nancy's comments and wonder if you would do a similar video for the 1230 model, which was my mom's.
OK the 1230 and 1130's are on my list to show how to oil, and what NOT to do...
@@berninajeff That's great news. I'm looking forward to it!
Awesome info Jeff! Thank you so much. I just bout an 830 Record but no foot controller. Where would be the best place to buy one?
Great video. I just changed the motor brushes on my Bernina 830 and I noticed that the capacitor is slightly swollen. I can't find the part anywhere. Any suggestions?
Great tutorial. Would you have a chart of where to oiil? I couldn't keep up with the video (brain kind of slow to gather words now days).
Great suggestion!
I just was so lucky to get a 830. Must have been out of use for some years and the dialling knobs were hardly moving. All but the zig zag dial is working now, that one is still very hard to turn. Where can I attack the problem and is it just oiling it needs?
I’ve recently got one of these machines as a gift, I’m very excited to use it! I’m having a problem where the needle is off centred and hitting the back of the plate before going into the bobbin hole, any tips on trouble shooting?
Thank you Jeff for all your great videos. I am uk based and have been using a Bernina 1130 until the feed dogs stopped moving the fabric. I have tried everything even asked my Bernina Sewing shop who advised they didn’t know what it would be except probably a system board and wouldn’t take the machine off me so I bought another Bernina 1130 and I can’t believe the same thing has happened again! My question to you Jeff is can this problem be fixed or am I looking at two Bernina 1130s for spares? Kind regards Diane
Do you have a video that shows a more step by step oiling? Can you over oil your machine?
I cleaned, marked and all oil areas and our a drop in each place. I changed the needle and noticed that I could move the needle to left and and right position by hand.The knob moves it also. It shouldn’t do that without moving it with the knob. I hope this isn’t confusing. Thanks!
Good video. Would you consider remaking it w/a camera that doesn't wobble so much, so we can watch it w/o getting dizzy? I love my Bernina 830 Record!
I still have my 910! I LOVE IT! Do I oil it the same way? Also, does the oil go bad? If so what oil should I use?
I just serviced one of these, using your tutorial. Question. Can the lightbulb be switched out for a new LED bulb? If so, what size? I get them from the Featherweight Shop for my Singer machines.
Hey Jeff, Are we just talking a couple drops ? Thanks Jeff from Jersey
Great video, Jeff. I have a beautiful 930 that has a bad capacitor, and a broken foot pedal. Any idea where I can get these items? It ran beautiful, and I miss using it!
If you have not already then give me a call 970-256-1293
Thank you so much for the helpful video :) I just got an old bernina 830 record but it seems to be gummed up with old oil that's become very thick and tacky, is my only option to hand it in to a repairperson or is it possible to clean out the old oil myself?
Yes, I have this same question
You can do it just watch lots of videos and only remove screws you know you can replace
