Hi I just purchased a Pratt 130 at a thrift store. I need a strong machine to sow vynal, leather and canvas. This machine needs to be serviced. Does anybody know a good service/repair shop in North holly or los Angeles CA.? Thank you!

Hi,
Can someone can help out…I have a Pfaff 130 sewing machine. When i’m sewing the under thread is too loose. I tried to fix it but with no luck… What I did was to take the bobbing case out of the machine and tightened the small tension screw (Z) in a clockwise direction. I already adjusted it and the problem continue. Does someone know what is the real problem and what should I do?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

IMy daughter was given her grandmother’s Pfaff 130-6 sewing machine in an oak cabinet. I would like to have it serviced and cleaned for her Christmas present. Is there anyone in northwest Ohio that does this kind of work? Thank you

I kept hearing about how wonderful the Pfaff 130 was for years but they were being sold at such high prices. I saw one in the original cabinet with attachments for $150.00. I would like the “coffee Grinder” for it as that makes the different embroidery designs. I am downsizing my machines and am keeping the Pfaff 130, a Singer 15-91 and my HV Designer II. That will be a far cry from my 11 machines right now. Pfaff designed a good machine when they made the 130.

Anyone with a Pfaff-130 with the gear box on the back that attaches via a lever to the front dial is a rarer model called the Pfaff 130 Dial-A-Stitch. I was fortunate enough to purchase one such machine in 1993 – never used – at an antique store. Fortunately it came with the original printing of the Pfaff 130 manual (which does not describe the workings of the gear box) AND a plastic selector wheel that shows the stitches that each combination of the gear box levers makes. The decorative stitches are cool in a retro way, but after 18 years with this wonderful workhorse of a sewing machine, I can count on one hand the times I have used the decorative Dial-A-Stitch settings.

I am trying to find the value of a PFAFF Model 130 Serial# 5070570 that is in the original cabinet. Any help would be appreciated.

I just purchase a Pfaff 130-6 at an estate sale, all original,from the manuel, extra parts and certificate of lifetime guarentee. It is in a 1950′s cabinet which the chair pushes in and looks like a dresser rather than a sewing cabinet. Very well taken care of by original owner, any info on what its worth?

I have a Pfaff Model #130-6-A, purchased by my parents in January, 1955. It is in very good condition…, has all of the attchments (for embroidering, buttonholes, etc).. was just cleaned/serviced about 1 1/2 years ago… runs great….. It is in a Mahogany cabinet built by my father who was a cabinet maker…

I would like to know what the value of the machine is at this time (& possibly the machine & the cabinet).

Thank you,

Barb Moore
