all my older Pfaff were made in Germany, my Hobbymatic 947, (only one withOUT IDT) 1229 with IDT, and 3, 7570's,
my 2054 was made in Sweeden, and serger coverlock 4862 was made in Japan.
The last Pfaff made in Germany was the 7570, and considered to be the best one Pfaff ever made. I love, love LOVE my 7570's, and would love to have more of them, LOL
your price is very good, I saw one on a Pfaff group for sale recently for $525, without the embroidery unit. These machines are truly a great work horse and I would NOT give up any of mine. But get another one,? you bet in a heart beat, (if I have the money)
