Apologies for delayed responses. I did not sell the machine but rather kept it.

Yes I will ship and will personally build the crate for the head. Also, I gotta know this is going to a good home where it will be loved and used and oiled.

10 3/8" from the needle to the machine body

I have not used a Pfaff 335 and so cannot speak to their relative virtues. I have used a Pfaff 238-6 which was a dreamy machine. This machine is utterly superb in design and build, and this example is flawless. Plug and play, tune to your thread and sew. I neglected to put in the original post that it comes with many feet and a a roller guide that fastens onto the back. I also have a clutch motor I'll throw in.

Hi. I have the same machine and I think the same initial tenssioning mechanism. The trick to this piece is to have the thread enter at the hole closest ( right most) to the thread stand, around the tensioning disc and then back through the same hole. Then the thread travels to the left on the back side and then out again through the left most hole twd the operator. Then thread as usual. Durkopp keeps all manuals avaialble for download on their site which is quite nice. You can download manual there and see their diagrams if my description is not clear. This is by far the best machine I have. Clean and lube it and it should pretty much run forever.
