Members DanishMan Posted March 25, 2020 Members Report Posted March 25, 2020 Dear Friends I have a question about the old PFAFF 335 presser foot lift. On most 335 there is some kind of mechanism to minimise the power needed on the foot pedal. On the older machines, there is no such mechanism. In stead a chain is going from the tip of the lifting arm through a hole in a corner of the machine base. My question is if, any of these machines have had knee lift - or if the only presser foot lifting is via the foot pedal, which requires more power, than those with the power exchange. Take care DanishMan Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted March 26, 2020 Members Report Posted March 26, 2020 No knee lifts to my knowledge for the 335. Sorry. glenn Quote
Members DanishMan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 26, 2020 I think you are right. So the foot lift on the older 335's must have been heavier, than the later ones. Quote
Members DanishMan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 26, 2020 I might consider to drill holes in my machine and mount a lifting device with power exchange. I have not decided yet, as it is an older model - and I am painting it black. Quote
