I've just spent a small fortune on these needles so darn it, I want to use them!
It still sounds very loud but will keep oiling it! Oh yeah, and reading the manual because I have no idea what all the doo-hickeys do..

[quote=Miz Johnny]I was sewing on my GF's Pfaff treadle at retreat, and noticed it was a bit "clunky". I cleaned and oiled, and when I pulled off the faceplate, found 10 pfennig. My guess is that had been in there a LONG time!!

It is funny how you can go from crazy high prices, to something like this.
