That's a great looking machine!

Please keep posting anything you learn about your machine. We are in the process of clearing my MIL's home for sale. Sometime in the coming month I'll be bringing home a Pfaff 130 that belonged to my husband's grandmother. It's in a nice cabinet. I've heard these can be difficult machines to work on and get the timing right. My MIL said the grandmother said it had timing issues so she eventually got a Kenmore 158. I need to learn more about Pfaffs.

Love your machine and cabinet. I have a 301A in the same cabinet. I didn't know the name of it until this post.
Thanks [h=2][/h] |
Behind the rear cover plate and to the right is a gear/bearing whatever you want to call it, It is difficult to see, it is near the white Delron gear, you'll need a flashlight. It is there for machines with the coffee grinder attachment to be installed. I missed it on mine and couldn't figure out why the machine was binding. Once I oiled it, the machine purred.

Congrats on your beautiful find! :)

What is a coffee grinder attachment?
|
It is an attachment that goes on the back of the Pfaff 130 to make all manner of decorative stitches. It sounds like a coffee grinder when it is working, hence the name.

Color me green with envy!! That is one that I want but cannot justify currently. :D
|
That is a wonderful machine and a great cabinet. Congratulations. I didn't see a price; dare I ask?
I have a Pfaff 130 and love it. |

Strip off the throat plate and see if it still rubs.

So far, it runs, quite fast, but I need a better belt. The 193077 singer belt fits, but seems to cause some resistance, so I'll order the proper one. I was trying to help the oil work in. ;) It feeds fabric, but I haven't tested with thread.
