Good afternoon,

A piece of advice if I may from all of you machine experts.

I'm in need of of Light-Medium weight machine and I like the Pfaff 335 G that I've often used in the past.

I found this model on Ebay, new for USD 2500. Its worth double that here in Switzerland (Europe) thus my interest. here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120481250435&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching#ht_7304wt_1642

- is a servo motor a vario stop like we say here, meaning the needle stays in leather once you've taken off the foot from the pedal?

- has anyone dealt with this seller by any chance? (I've just mailed him to know if he ships overseas)

thanks for your replies,

golgotha

No, a servo motor is not a vario stop, we would call that a needle positioning motor here in the US. A Pfaff or Efka vario stop will add at least $1500USD to the price.

I have not had dealings with Zamir, but have not heard any complaints about them.

Zamir Sewing Machines states in their eBay ad that they ship to the US and Canada and Mexico. They may not be willing to ship to Europa.
