Members DanishMan Posted February 14, 2020 Members Report Posted February 14, 2020 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 Quote
Members dikman Posted February 14, 2020 Members Report Posted February 14, 2020 Poor little Pfaff. It sort of looks like someone was stripping it for parts. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members DanishMan Posted February 14, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 14, 2020 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. Quote
Members jimi Posted February 14, 2020 Members Report Posted February 14, 2020 This looks like it will be a interesting project..... Quote
Members DanishMan Posted February 14, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 14, 2020 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. Søren Quote
Members iron1951 Posted February 14, 2020 Members Report Posted February 14, 2020 I am curious, does it have reverse? Quote
Members dikman Posted February 15, 2020 Members Report Posted February 15, 2020 Yes, push the stitch length lever all the way up and it reverses the stitch. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members DanishMan Posted February 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 15, 2020 The reverse lever broke off during shipping, but I have a spare. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted February 15, 2020 Members Report Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Don´t tell me you went to from Denmark to Bulgaria for picking up a 335 parts machine. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Bulgarien/Kopenhagen,+Dänemark/@48.5993965,9.7962758,5z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x40a8fec1c85bf089:0xa01269bf4c10!2m2!1d25.48583!2d42.733883!1m5!1m1!1s0x4652533c5c803d23:0x4dd7edde69467b8!2m2!1d12.5683372!2d55.6760968 I guess you were on a road trip, right?

Members DanishMan Posted February 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 15, 2020 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.. Brgds Danishman Quote
