Bargain machine-how lucky was I?!
Saw ad for Pfaff Tiptronic 1171. It was being sold by repairman who has worked for me. I asked why he was selling..he said "lady brought it for repair. Said she would not spend $50 for new motor--told me to do what ever with it." He rebuilt the motor and sold to me for $50..complete with foot control, German manual, & English manual. I ran to the car as fast as I could..afraid he'd change his mind!! It hums along with beautiful stitches, and I knew the worth of a Pfaff because I already had a 1475CD model. Problem is I only got the sewing foot with the 1171, and tho all the other attachments I have will fit this machine, I'd like to have it 'complete'....at least the buttonhole & darning feet. I've searched and only been able to find a set of feet with a different kind of shank that cannot fit with the IDT. I'm hoping to find used feet from someone's "dearly departed machine. Any suggestions where to look?
