Bernina Record 730 with broken Cam stack gear

I was all excited to get the Bernina Record 730 ready to go, until I started working on it last night. The machine would work fantastic, until all of the sudded it would hit a patch in one of the cams and suddenly stop - not a good sign. I began to look at the various cams, suspecting the cam stack - and that was the culprit. The basic symptoms are:

Sudden stop at a specific interval (under motor power)
Able to hand turn the machine past, then the machine moves freely once again, only to exhibit the same behavior again.
If the 'hood' of the Record 730 or 8310 is lifted, you can often visually see the crack or split in the cam gear. I've ordered the cam gear from sewingstyle.com, most I could find were from europe rather than within the US, fair price. As I perform the cam gear repair I'll post the procedure to use as a reference.

Viking Husqvarna Selectronic 190 sewing machine for sale

I have an excellent condition Husqvarna Viking 190 Selectronic sewing machine for sale. This has just been serviced and is in excellent condition. It comes complete with the case and foot pedal as well. This was a top-of-the line viking back in the day, sells for around $450-$500 on ebay. It comes with the fitted accessory case that wraps around the free arm, extra bobbins, needles, 5 extra feet, etc. It's about as complete as you'll find. It has the awesome needle up/down feature, full and half speed, multiple stitches, and a number of other features. It's built to last through a nuclear bomb, with the heavy construction you'd expect from such a great machine.
