I managed to find this old PFAFF 335 in Bulgaria.

It is a wreck, but I will get it to work.

Kind regards

Danish Man

PS -  I also found a PFAFF 595 today - for 130 euros. Bargain

Poor little Pfaff. It sort of looks like someone was stripping it for parts.

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

I thought so too, but when it arrived, most of the parts were there. 

Otherwise, I have many parts from other machines, that I can use.

Hi Jimi. I hope you are well. I have picked up several machines in Poland, and this one in Bulgaria.

While it is missing several parts, most screws and parts are in good condition. I probably need to paint it.

I will see. I have about 10 old PFAFFs, that I need to work with. I found a 595 today and a skiving machine..

Take care.

Yes, push the stitch length lever all the way up and it reverses the stitch.

I got it shipped.

The machine was in bad shape, so I took the chance. It was not packed very well, and it sustained a few damagages more.

Still a good price, and in case I can not fix it for some reason, I got several parts - like the needle rocker assembly.

The most critical part is the main shaft, which I suspect to be slightly bend. I noticed it before shipping, and I asked the guy to take off the hand wheel. Had the hand wheel been on, it would probably have broken off during shipping.

However, I took a PFAFF 142 apart a few months ago, and I can likely use the main shaft from that.

The machine is scratched, and I probably have to paint it. I know a guy, who has original PFAFF paint, so that will also work out..
