Pfaff 23-10 cylinder

[bassicsew]

hi there…just bought a new-2-me pfaff 23-10 cylinder machine… having issues with tension mechanism on the face plate…

1. check spring is quite mangled…anyone have a spare or know of a singer? crossover…

2. on the back of the tension assembly(inside face plate) shouldn’t there be a rod of some sort (traveling inside the mechanism) to force/allow tension discs to release when foot is raised ??? mine is missing this ‘rod’… ( hope this makes sense!!!

thnx in advance,

steve

Please post pictures of your machine and the parts you have problems with.

The Singer 17 is a very similar machine if you need a manual look up a Singer 17 Manual. However here is a German language manual for your machine.

Not sure if the Singer 17 parts are interchangeable but in case you do not find a spring I would try a complete new Singer 17 or Singer 16 tension unit. Not a big loss if it does not fit:

I´ll check my records but I don´t think I have a parts list.

Your pictures are fairly small Its hard to tell what is going on...

BTW I once uploaded a few more files here, some are for a similar Adler machine but the basics are the same.
