    I'm absolutely stoked. :) I just picked up a vintage Pfaff on ebay!!! It's almost identical to my 1222, except it's a flat bed instead of having the skinny body that lets you hem pants and sleeves.

    A little back story:

    A retired gentleman on an automotive board where I also post is looking for a used sewing machine. He's local, and since he is older and retired, I asked him to trade me for his used slacks and shirts that he no longer wears and I'd scavenge any of the useful material that was in it.

    I'd been planning to pick up another Pfaff, so this was a good excuse to get the Kenmore out of the house, help a guy, and get more for my stash in one swoop. (I hadn't touched it since I bought the machine I currently use.)

    I'd looked for another machine for several months, but wasn't finding anything in my price range. :) I'm writing this off as a cosmic/divine "atta girl" for making the trade that I did with the local guy.

    anyone know how to find a manual for the Pfaff 1212? I have an 84 year old friend who just was given one and she is afraid to try anything with it until she gets some kind of instructions about it............
