Won't do a straight stitch without a slight zig zag and the zig zag stays tiny, the stitch width doesn't change it and no embroidery stitches. Bummer. I have the service manual for the 360 so will try to repair it myself. I Triflowed the heck out of it, used the hair dryer treatment, but I don't believe anything is stuck, it seems there is something not right inside:< This machine is so nice that if I can't fix it myself, I'm actually going to go to a professional with it:> All the parts and misc. I received with the machine are worth what I paid, but I'm still disappointed. But, I can see why the machine looks like new inside and out! Someone probably put it up because it didn't work and there it sat for 50 years. Anway, here are some pics. The seller gave me her grandmothers sewing box(made in Poland) and in it were some neat Pfaff items and a ton of thread. Her grandmother was the original owner.

Sorry to hear about the Pfaff problems. It is cool looking machine but the sewing box is gorgeous. What a treasure! Wow.
