Good morning All!
I know it hasn't been much activity on this thread for a while, but I found it very detailed and interesting topic, especially since I am struggling with my Pfaff 38 and the very same dilemma... I love the pictures too!
My 1928 Pfaff 38 came with a single regular domestic flat shank needle clamped in the middle slot. There wasn't any indication on the machine or in the drawer about the correct needles. I found a couple of manuals online in French and German.
130 needle system is recommended in the manual (can't remember seeing 130b, I'll have to double check it) when in double needle mode, the max needle space is 4.5mm on my machine.
My trouble is, that the needle clamp screws are really worn, and although I found replacement screws that supposed to be the same the new ones doesn't fit.
I was thinking about changing the whole needle clamp unit to a single one from a Pfaff 34... I was wondering if the double clamp from the 138 would fit my 38?
The needle clamp screws on my machine go in diagonally and not straight, other than that looks pretty much the same.
