{{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}}
The 820 series was the second multineedle embroidery machine released by Toyota. The Toyota 820 was a 6 needle single head embroidery machine. The machine was the first Toyota to have a removable table top to use the tubular embroidery accessory and the first Toyota machine with a cap system.
The machine remained to look very similar to the earlier 800 model but with a few small visual changes like the base color.

820A/830 Series
{{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}}
The Toyota 820A is a 6 needle machine and the Toyota 830 is a 9 needle machine. Otherwise, the two single head machines were identical. The machines did not come with disk drives however a very rare amount of external disk drives we sold. The machines have a 25 pin serial port that most operators used to connect directly to their PCs to transfer their data designs. Special software is needed to transfer the designs directly to the machine. The BlackBox is also a solution to read designs from a USB stick directly into the machine.
The 820A and 830 were redesigned and upgraded from the previous 820 model. A much more sleek control panel was used and the machine came with the ability to store more that one design at a time.

Buying
Toyota embroidery machines are probably one of the best machines on the market. They are more expensive that most all competing models but, they are very solidly built and have a good resell market. There are a lot of embroidery machine technicians available world wide and parts are pretty easy to find even for older models.
Selling
TheEmbroideryWarehouse buys and sells most every make and model of Toyota embroidery machines located within the continental USA. They also purchase parts, parts machines, salvage machines and most everything else related to embroidery equipment.
