My cousin bought a Pfaff 230 "flattop" at a thrift store for about $40 a few years back. It was also in a beautiful Pfaff cabinet. It had the dealer's sticker on the back of the machine, and the dealer was in Germany. She had to take it to a local Pfaff dealer and have the wiring redone for the U.S. It was well taken care of, no dents, no scratches, great heavy duty Pfaff.
