I love my pfaff 130!! Mine is completely restored and runs like a champ! For a timing belt or any other hard to find parts you should go to zeussmachines.com (i think that is it). Jay is a MASTER of restoration and knowledge on the pfaff 130's. He worked on mine and with everything I have in it, it's worth about $800 - sounds crazy but this machine is pristine. I even have the original german light that is extremely rare and the 'dial a stitch' for the embroidery attachment. I picked it up for $20 at a garage sale and it was in pitiful shape. When Jay finished with it, it looked brand new! Mine is 1952 also and has the manual hand crank attachment (great for on the sailboat with no shore power). Anyway, you have an awesome machine IMHO and I hope you enjoy it!
