Paff 130-6 in cabinet
Hubby bought this Paff 130-6 at auction yesterday. Ebay values are pretty high...wondering what folks would pay for a machine like this? I'm probably keeping it...if it sews as well as the auctioneer said, I'll keep it. I'll have to sell a blonde cabinet to make room...but this one is beautiful! Going to play with it some today. The center is a chair that pulls out. The chair has two drawers for storage. Yep, may have to keep this one (lol...I keep a lot of the machines we get in).

Love the Cabinet.
I've got 3 Pfaff 130 machines, one with the coffee grinder on it.
Paid $65 for one in a smaller cabinet that has the same chair but does not have the two side drawer stacks.
Paid $27 for the one with the coffee grinder- had a blown motor. Sews really nice with a replacement. Came in a case, but not really suitable as a "portable" as it outweighs the Singers.
And paid $10 for another 130 - just the machine, because it had the funny spool holder on top and my other machine was missing it.
They do often sell for decent prices on eBay- provided everything is there, they are serviced and the drive belt has been checked out to be in good condition.

That is a really good buy. A beautiful cabinet and machine. No way would I sell it. (I don't have any more wall space in my house - so much for open concept.) Here in the NE it would go much higher.

Marge,
My "go to" machine is a Pfaff 130. I recently had to replace the motor. If you try yours out and the motor is shot, let me know. I learned a few things from the motor replacement experience. Also, I live in Lubbock and bought both the motor and free advice here.
