DanishMan Report post Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) I found two old PFAFF 193s and two 194s in a barn in Denmark They had been sitting in the barn for at least five years, and they were extremely dirty and also somewhat rusty. Apparently the machines had not been preserved with oil at any point. I scrapped three machines for spares. I decided to give the last machine a chance - a PFAFF 193 4 CLM8 (I wonder if the machine has a maximum sting length of 4 or 8 mm). The machine was very dirty, but I gave it a thorough cleaning using a basic detergent and an old kitchen brush. The parts with small spots of rust were carefully removed by steel wool. After that I used our "dog blower" to dry the machine. It is very powerfull and can also deliver warm air, which makes it very effective. After drying, I used plenty of WD40 Now the machine is just waiting for three missing parts and a new hand wheel - then the machine just needs fine tuning and a table. My point is, that a machine can look shitty, but with relative small effort, can make a big difference.
