That makes sense. That's why it's quite small then. It is a Chinese 750W servo motor, so it should be enough hopefully. It comes with a 2 years warranty card. Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks guys for all the info. I went for the Pfaff 1245 in 220V with needle position servo motor as I needed the machine ready to go quite urgently although I do have some mechanical skills. I'm just not that very experienced yet unfortunately, but I'll get there eventually. It seems a great machine so far, but the motor looks pretty small to me compared to the Efka mounted on my other 2 machines. I'll look at the Wattage tomorrow and upload a picture to show you guys what it's like.

Thanks for this. The seller said the Pfaff 1245 was made in Germany. The only thing is that it doesn't have a servo motor and it would cost 200 euro if I want them to install it. Is it really worth having it? I think it is.

Hi everyone, I'm after a flat bed machine and I've been these two models below. The Adler 267-373 is 1200 euro plus vat and the Pfaff 1245 is 1000 euro plus vat. The seller is recommending the Pfaff since it's a bit stronger, although a bit cheaper he said. Both look to be in good condition. What's your thought on them please? Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for the info. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with other members. Since I already own a Singer 29K/71 and really need a post bed machine, my best option might be to go for an Adler flat bed machine instead of a cylinder arm. Let's see if I can get my head right!

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here although I asked a few questions in the past logging in through my Facebook profile. I'm no longer able to sign in using my Facebook profile for some reason, so I've created a new one. I lived in the UK for about 12 years and repaired motorcycle leathers for the last 4. I've now relocated to Italy and I'll be starting a new motorcycle leathers repair business. I always worked with a walking foot flat bed machine, which I sold and a Singer 29k71 that I brought with me. I'm in that position again where I need to buy new machinery and I can only afford 2 industrial sewing machines. At first I was more oriented towards getting a flat bed and a post bed, but I'm now thinking that it might be best to go for a cylinder arm which can be made flat by adding a small table to it and a high post bed instead. Someone has recommended the flat bed Adler 267-373 and a modified post bed Adler 267-373. Is having a flat bed machine really necessary? From what I can gather, it seems that most second hand cylinder arms available here are Adler, Necchi and Pfaff. I'm just not too sure which exact model would be best to look for. Any advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks Devid
