Sorry to post again about the same issue but I have another video that I’m hoping can maybe help with troubleshooting.

I was giving the shuttle race and hook area another cleaning and oiling this morning to see if that would help at all and I happened to discover something that I thought might be useful for figuring this out. The rattling/grinding seems to be coming specifically from the shuttle race area. When the machine is running and making the noise, applying light pressure to the back of the shuttle race component makes the noise disappear completely.

Is that something a local Bernina tech could inspect and possibly address? If so, is there anything specific you would recommend I ask them to look for?

Bernina 1008 owners/techs, does this sound off to you?

I recently acquired this machine and was told it had been serviced/restored. I watched some setup videos while getting to know the machine and noticed that it sounds quite different from the machines in the videos. Theirs sound much quieter and smoother and do not have the loud, cyclical grinding sound mine is making. I have cleaned and oiled the hook area according to the manual, but the sound is still there.

What would you recommend having checked? We are moving overseas in a few weeks and I want to get this fixed ASAP. Thank you for any help you can provide!
