Thanks NylonRigging. You helped me to better understand it. Unfortunately, I had the chance to discuss with a sewist who worked on the pfaff and told me that they stopped using it because it was damaged. She couldnt tell me what exactly was broken, but that plus the fact that it was a 380v motor, I ended pu taking two singer 211g. Easier based on my abilities. Maybe they'll get rid of the pfaff at the end of the month. Maybe i'll have to make even more room on my cave at the end of the month Thanks to everyone that helped me. Ill keep you updated with the singers, but thats for another post.

Here is the pressure air tube getting out of the blue thing. I seen it just hanged from there, you see it on the previous machine picture down on the left corner. Is that even normal? I looked for a servomotor, damn it's expensive for that model. I'm starting to consider it too expensive without knowing if the machine works. Maybe I'll take two Singer instead. Is the 211g256 a possible donor machine for the 211g766?

Thanks Constabulary! This chart board really helped me ! For the motor, I don't know why the pictures went in random order but in case it wasn't clear, it's the front and back of the Pfaff motor. So I'm concerned to change anything, as it seems to have kind of an electric board. I wouldn't know what to keep or what to throw away :/ I have no problem to put grease on my hands, but when it comes electronics, not my cup of tea. Is it possible to change the whole things or just a part? Wouldn't it cost like a lot? And it seems to be a three phase motor, or not? I was also thinking to buy them both, but this motor, I don't know.

Hi! I've been digging informations from this website from quite some time now and it was always helpful. But this time I didn't find answers to my questions, so here's my first post. (If i have to introduce myself first, I'll do it right away but there's not much to say.) I have an opportunity to buy an old iron cast sewing machine from a factory. Problem is, they have been forgotten for longtime and nobody could give me any informations about them neither if they works. In fact they learnt stuff from me, total noob that i am. So here's my choices: Pfaff 1245-706/05 with a quick-rotan motor Singer 211g766 I'm afraid of the electronic part of the Pfaff motor and the fact that I found zero ressources about it doesn't help. Any ideas? Also I have no clue of the Singer 766 particularity. If anyone could help that would be awesome.
