The 830 is an older model, it is NOT electronic or computerized. However, everyone who owns one LOVES it. I've known owners to put a new motor in an old 830 rather than buy a newer Bernina.
It must be a real workhorse. If you are considering buying this one, see if it has lots of presser feet--they are getting harder to find. And if you don't know the history of the machine, I wouldn't bid much over that $20. It could need costly service or repairs.
