Suzelle, et al. I just became to owner of a Pfaff 138-6/21-BS. I purchased this machine and a Singer 600W1 complete with tables, motors and some bobbins. The Singer has a knee lift but the Pfaff doesn't. the total price for both of them was $150 so,even though I only wanted the Pfaff I figured I would also get the Singer and maybe sell it. I have been looking for a walking foot machine but this might do for now. I rewired the Pfaff with proper wiring and added a light as well. In researching this machine for whatever information I could get (I'm a researcher at heart) I came across a lot of good information but one site (blog) had some information about adding a foot operated reverse pedal. The Pfaff 138 has a feature that allows this. Here is a link to the thread that explains it. Hope it helps someone. http://www.ashleyandthenoisemakers.com/blog/2015/3/7/pfaff-138-review-1 I plan to add it when I get to sewing on my 138. Clem

Thanks for the list of manuals. I now think that I should be able to get my PFAFF 138 running very well

"The 138 is well documented as well you find everything from manual to parts list and service instructions online." Constabulary, you posted the above quote. I just became the owner of a PFAFF 138-6/21 BS machine. I have found an operators manual but no other written manual such as the service manual. Could you point me to a link to get one? Thanks, Clem.
