Here is my Pfaff 130. It belonged to my Dad. He retired when he was 50 and before retiring built he and his wife a 38ft. sailboat in his backyard in LA. They had it lifted out and set sail to the South Pacific for the next 11 years. He purchased this machine in Mexico so that he could fix the sails on his boat. Apparently the Pfaff 130's were popular among sailors because they were heavy duty and could sew through sails and could be set up with a hand crank. It's in kind of rough shape and smells pretty musty. I had it serviced and it runs. It's a bit rusty in spots. When I first got it I think I had the number off of it but now I think the motor is covering it. The front of the machine says Made in Germany but the motor says Made in USA. It needs a LOT of work to make it pretty. My dad made some funky fiberglass case for it so that the wood wouldn't rot on the boat. And this thing is HEAVY!!!
