Any information on this PFAF 545 h4 6/01

I was looking to see if anyone had any information on this machine. The serial number lookups i have found haven't been fruitful. I was curious of when this would have been manufactured as well as the value of this machine. It is a working unit. Thank you for your time!

I have this same machine. BTW the Model 545 is similar to the earlier model 145. I you search here and other places there is a fair amount of Pfaff info available. Pfaff uses a numbering system that gives a lot of information about the machine. This is what I have come up with, it may not be 100% accurate. From the picture it looks like you have the original drive motor, not modified to a modern servo type. The value can vary but in my area would be 500 to 750? In my opinion Pfaff built a solid machine, sometimes parts may be a bit difficult to find and expensive compared to more common manufactures and all the clones.
