Hi Bryan I bought it from a private seller and had it couriered to me using a courier company.....I know it left in good condition but I cant prove it was manhandled by the courier company so cant get them to compensate. I could probably claim on my house insurance but would rather fix it and use if possible so fingers crossed I can work if out!

Hi Jimi Thanks for your reply. I did indeed see your Pfaff escapades and read your post with interest.....your issues looked a lot worse than mine! The tension spring is indeed bent; I straightened as much as possible but I think I would have zero tension control if used like that. The lever screw does have a grub screw to allow its removal although it is proving impossible to undo! I have ordered generic replacement parts from Ebay (no uk sellers) of both the complete tension assembly and reverse lever so I'm hoping I can swap them over fairly easily and there wont be any internal damage to deal with! Cheers, Rachael That would be really useful if you are able! Cheers, Rachael

Hi I recently purchased a pfaff 335 clone that was in perfect working order when I viewed it but it got damaged during shipping and I'm wondering if I could salvage it! I have checked it over and it seems to run ok when I turn the hand wheel, however the tension plate is bent and the stitch regulator/reverse feed lever sheared off. I think I can get a replacement part for both these items, however i dont know how i can remove the stitch regulator casing so i can remove what is left of the screw to replace it.....can anyone tell me if this is possible or if they have replaced this part? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Rachael
