Service Manual for Pfaff 1222?

Hi

I may finally have a Pfaff 1222 coming my way, but from the description it might need to be stripped of the old oil, which has turned to varnish.

Does anyone have/know where I could get hold of/know a better place to ask for a service manual?

All reasonable costs met...

Regards John (in the UK)

Larry, how can I get in on 'OldPfaffFourm'?? sounds interesting.

Silly Question and not wanting to put a nose or noses out of joint..

But what has a Sewing Machine (an old one at that) have to do with Kites?

Try going into Alders or Sears and pick up a new one.......

You philistine! Obviously not a kite maker then. And if you can find a source for a new Pfaff at a reasonable price, please post here, I'm sure there are many that would be eternally grateful.

OK Ok OK Ok ok

Sorry, I consider my hands slapped

But this is a Kite group not a knitting group

And before you all bark again SORRY!!!

But all joking aside - Good luck with finding your part

Bryan, it would probably surprise you to find out just how many kites entered in the AKA kite maker comps were made on Pfaff machines (old ones at that).... This makes this thread Very much kite related.. As parts for these older machines are getting harder to source (even for Pfaff mechanics ordering through the company like myself) any information to help keep them up and running is appreciated by many.

Thanks Larry, I'm signed up now.

I'm not sure I could face my friends if they heard I was sewing my kites on a Pfaff or Singer.....when I tell them that I use a Husqvarna model we all grunt approvingly in a masculine manner.....

triple zig-zagging my way into kiting history......

I've BEEN to Husqvarna. Does that count for anything? Bonus points if you can tell me the country (no fair Googling!)

I may be uncouth in the world of sewing machines but I am well travelled although I haven't been to Husqvarna I have been to Sweden........
