I have that old Bernina at the back. My mom bought it with her first salary cheque back in the mid-1960s, I learned to sew on it in the 80s and it's still going strong. Quilters have been known to drool over it. With luck, I will never need another.

I say get an old machine period. I run a Singer 201-2 and a 401a, and they're perfect, and will run strong for decades.
