"The Pfaff company is in Kaiserslautern, Germany"
Double check that the factory is still there, Viking bought Pfaff a few years ago & I read that the factory in Germany was closed. Hopefully I'm wrong.

My machine repair guy told me that Pfaff is no longer made in Germany, now they are made in China. You might want to take that into consideration when buying a Pfaff. I grew up on a Pfaff, but alas, they don't make 'em like that anymore!!!

Repair man is not completely right :roll: Only the cheapest of the Pfaff machines, entry level, are made in China. :oops: The Pfaffs are made side by side with the Viking Machines(Husquvarna).

I agree ! Pfaffs are wonderful. Got mine in 1979, still sews like new. I would avoid Singer at all costs! I worked at JoAnn, which sold them, and refused to sell them to customers. They are as bad as the White machines, which used to come back defective within weeks of being sold. Also, NEVER buy a machine that you cannot try out. All machines are not created equal and you need to see if you are "compatible"
