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.

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.

Singer 306w Sewing Machine for Sale

I have an excellent Heavy Duty Singer 306w sewing machine. This machine is in great cosmetic and mechanical condition. The paint is great and the machine itself performs beautifully. This is a singer classic, built to last through the ages, with quality unavailable in today's machines. The Singer 306w is known as a very high quality machine, with an extremely sturdy build and high pressure foot clearance. It is very capable of sewing tough materials or light weight, with the ability to fine tune to the nth degree. The stitch is top quality! This is a fiber belt drive machine (like a Pfaff 130 or 260) with the belt in fantastic shape as well. It makes 4 layers of tough leather look like nothing! This has been lubed, timed and balanced.
