Welcome from Southern California. Congrats on your "new" machine. My old machine was a Pfaff, I used it for 20 years with no problems, loved it!!! I was going to get a newer Pfaff, but ended up with a Bernina, cause I have a Bernina dealer a mile away and could get classes and repairs and parts easily. I'd have to travel 40 - 50 miles for the Pfaff so.... I'm sure that someone here has that machine and can help you.
