My second find of the weekend a Pfaff 130...

So this poor machine was just sitting in the corner at an estate sale looking all sad, so I said why not! This is my 1st Pfaff so I will need to study up! I know she is going to require some re-wiring and cleaning. Just wondering if anyone has any tid-bits that they found while working with the Pfaff machines. Thank you!

Good luck with it!

Very nice machine! Get a real belt for it. It is a very strong machine and that rubber belt is not its friend. When you are cleaning and oiling it take the rear access plate off and get a flashlight. There is a small bearing off to the right as you are looking inside from behind. If you don't use a flashlight you will not see it. It will need oiling. There is also a white Delrin gear behind the access plate. I was shocked to see it in such a heavy machine but it is there. I have never heard of one failing so don't fret about it.
