Folks have been known to sell nonfunctioning machines on eBay, then blame shipping damage, and get the insurance to pay. Even if the buyer ends up w/ a refund, there's still the hassle and likely shippng costs. But guess what? Brubakers of PA, which has a good reputation, sells fully serviced machines with a one year warranty on eBay, and a 7510 is coming my way! These machines were beyond my budget in the 90's, but not now. I still want a 1222E and maybe a 1171, but so excited about this new baby. Thx esp to featherweight Beth for her encouragement to keep looking on eBay.

My 7550 was made in Germany

Maia~ Nice that you are getting a Pfaff 7510! I have one, and they are great machines! :)

I have two Tiptronics. 2010 & 2020. My 2010 I have had since 2001 and it is my primary machine. I don't know what IDT stands for, but my machine is a workhorse. The 2020 was bought at an estate sale and just recently has issues and will be going into the shop. I do have a FW and a Babylock Elegante as well, as a Gammil long arm, so you can see I seem to have all the bases covered. lol
