Bernina 1080 dead

My Bernina is about 15 years old and has been well cared for. It stopped going so I had an electrician check the power cord and was told it had a broken wire.  My sister managed to find a second hand one from the Christchurch Bernina shop but when we plugged it in the machine still would not go so I had it checked by a serviceman who seemed to think the mother board had gone.  What I want to know is can they be repaired or do you have to send to Switzerland for a replacement and at what cost would it be.  I have been told that maybe there is another board that may go and it would also be costly to repair so I have been advised to buy another machine. I have the extra feet for this machine and I am really asking you for your opinion as to what to do for the best.  I have found your site on the computer.  Would you be so kind as to give me an opinion on this matter. I cannot afford to go to an expensive machine again but have had a little look at a Janome DC 2101.

Cascade CE120SM sewing machine
I have a Cascade CE120SM sewing machine which I purchased from the Warehouse about six years ago.  I have been unable to use it because it seems to seize up or jam up whenever I try to use it. Have done everything in the manual to make it go incl. oil in the designated places.  It seems there might be something wrong with the feeder/bobbin area as the needle seems to get jammed up where the bobbin is when I start the machine going.  Have done everything according to the manual but still no luck.




Is it something I am (still ) doing wrong or is it an actual problem with the machine?
