Sewing machine oil has always been around, longer probably than 3in1.

My Pfaff 130 has similar handles on its cabinet. It is not blonde and doesn't have drawers. However, the front doors open, and there is an oval hole where a person can reach in and without seeing, insert the bobbin case. Nice feature -- you don't have to tip the heavy machine head back.

Congratulations!

I have a Pfaff 130 that is in an actual Pfaff cabinet, due to the fact that it fits perfectly, and it has the oval hole to put my hand through to change the bobbin without having to lift the machine backwards. I have a Pfaff 262 also, in a nice 3 drawer Singer cabinet, which the bolts fits fine, but the cut is wider for the Singers. I have to lift the machine to change the bobbin on it.

Also, my cousin has the Pfaff 230, which was a thrift store find about 6 years ago. Her's is the flattop version, no embroidery dials on top. She paid $40 for it, in a cabinet as well. It was still labeled on the back with the dealer's company name sticker on the back, a German dealer. She had to take it in for the conversion for U.S. electric plugs. It was missing a manual, but she managed to get one online. Great machines!

Great find with so many accessories and just a beautiful machine.
