stitch width dial Pfaff 138

[ben27]

Hi All!

I am trying to bring a pfaff 138 back to life. The bakelite dial is cracked and I would love to replace it with a fresher, intact dial. I cannot find anything online. Any help to point me in the right direction is appreciated!

How about a close-up photo of the dial you are wanting to replace?

I guess you mean the stitch length dial knob. I think I have a metal one here, I´ll check that later....

Or do you mean the Zig Zag knob?

I hope the picture helps. It is the plastic or bakelite knob that is broken (this image is from the net)

I think the machine was produced till late fifties. Similar knob was also used in 238 but not in later 438.  Such parts are not available any more, if you are lucky you can find sometimes something on ebay.

Otherwise, just glue it together. I did this with the one I stupidly broke when cleaning the machine.
