    Is there a difference between 130 and 130-6? Are the original motors the same power on all Pfaff 130’s? What is the pfaff 230? Thanks for any help you can provide. MABird

    Please, I would love to find the answers to the above questions. I have two 130’s and they are different. One has a motor made in Japan and machine has a large “hump” on the backside with the stitch changers accessible with hand dials that are attached to the front controls.-made in Kaiserslaughten Germany. The other has a Pfaff motor but no “hump” also made in K,Germany. Why are they different? Who has a service manual or just a manual for the 130 with the “hump” on back?
    Thanks, Cecilia

    Actually, I would like to add to the mystery…
    just found a Pfaff 130-6 with an attachment on the back. It is about 7″x2.5″x2″ and is tied into the stitch dial by means of a rod under the machine arm.
    Any ideas, as it is not listed in my instruction manual or pictured. It was made in Kaiserslauten Germany.
    Thank You,
    Cecilia
