That is the one the OP has. I was at my Pfaff dealers when it came in, and he asked me to set it up as the store was busy. It was one of the first Budget Pfaffs with no walking foot. I've had the 1471, 1475 and now the 2144/70. Mine is the last one made in Sweden. Real model 2170 made in Czech Republic. Yours might say Germany

It is a decent starter machine. If you get the right feet there is almost nothing you can't do. That same Pfaff dealer watched me couch and do some heirloom sewing on a basic zigzag machine.

BTW- When Pfaff gave up the patent for the IDT -- here's a Babylock. The original one would take Pfaff feet!.
