Pfaff 1209 feed dog issue
 

I have a new to me Pfaff 1209. The motor sounds great but the feeddogs only go up and down not back and forth. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Lots of cleaning and oiling

Ditto what Miriam said.
Interesting machine. Do you have manual? You can get one at http://www.pfaff.com/Support-and-Updates/Support
It isn't the greatest but may help. It looks like the stitch length knob is actually two. Perhaps Igor or ??? played with all the levers and knobs.
