    I have a Pfaff Tripmatic, coverlock serger, and 2- 7570s. So far...no problems and have used all of them like workhorses. I was a professional dressmaker for 40 years and my machines ran 18 to 20 hours a day. I have 2 featherweights, 2 baby locks, other machines but I LOVES MY PFAFFS!!!!!!!

    Maia, I have a 1471 I have had for over 30 yrs. Bought it used for 1800. You are not going o believe this but I have a 7570 still in the box with the embroidery unit. I bought it new $4800 back 10 to 12 yrs ago.i also have 2 pfaff sergers. One still in the box. I had my own business, not quilting & didn't have time to sew. My DIL had my 1471 for about 5 yrs. Just got it back 2 yrs ago when I retired & oh do I love it. We just moved onto our new log home & am getting back into sewing & just took the 7570 out of the box. I hope it works after all these yrs.
    You have a wonderful Pfaff dealer close to you in Joilet, Ill. Roberts sewing center. That is where I bought mine. Check him out. I wouldn't hav e any other machine. My whole family that sews all have Pfaff's. Donna, The Rustic Quilter

    Sewing in your log home? Sounds like a dream come true to me! Keep us posted on how that 7570 fairs after all this time.

    I have been trying to get my hands on a used 7570 by scouring e-bay and shopgoodwill. One I looked at on e-bay went for over $2000. If you can get one for $750 JUMP ON IT!

    Thx for the tip abouts Roberts. The closer Pfaff dealer is where I got my Babylock and Brother machines, and while I'm happy with those machines, I can tell they are all about the sale. Not getting any more of my money. The 7570 slipped away, but I'm grateful for all this advice. Does anyone have German-made mechanical models with IDT to recommend? I'm pleased to know Pfaff is worthy of my obsession.

    I have had a 7570 since 1998 and have had NO problems with it. I love it.

    Just keep checking Ebay. They do come up once in a while. I se there is one now but, it was over 1000.00 last time I checked. Good Luck

    Not that comfortable with eBay especially for those prices and items. Lots of reasons. But watching craigslist for local offerings.

    If you want a genuine oldy, look at the 130s. They are all mechanical, weigh 40 pounds, and sew like a dream.
