If it is a 230 pfaff it is still around. My mother has one. It had a problem last year and she took it to a pfaff dealer where she lives she was told it was unrepairablle after keeping it two weeks. She brought it to me to have my "guy" look at it. I took it to him and later that day he called me to ask who had been working on the machine? I told him a pfaff dealer in Louisiana and he told me that the only thing wrong with the machine was that that"dealer" had wired the motor on backward!!!! It was ready to go in 30 minutes after he cleaned it up. Her machine was bought in Germany in 1952 and hums, and hums, and hums. I will be going to Louisiana the middle to February if you want I will make a copy of the manual. PM me with your name and address. I used to fight with my younger sister who was going to get the pfaff when Mother passed. I stopped waiting and bought my own pfaff 10 years ago. Mother is 89 and going strong. My sister can continue waiting.
