how long does this filter last?

I just bought one exactly like yours in very good condition although the bars are a bit rusty and someone has been oiling the screw. I’ll be cleaning it and installing it in my Roubo bench soon to replace the Yost QR vise I have now. I like that you just clear coated it rather than a total repaint. FWIW it was in an antique store listed for $130 and the seller took $80.

Try using a dietetics needle for putting your oil in all those small little places you can get a one drop application without getting oil all over where you don’t want it

my pfaff has a Titan clutch motor and the clutch and the clutch and brake are integrated into the engine frame. The sewing machine was assembled in 1947 it haven't been in use for about 40- or 50 years

how does it compare ti kenmore 158 103 compact?

I came across the old grand dad to the 111 series, a 111w103. Stitch length is regulated by a VERY fussy dial on the handwheel. But I think the rest of the machine is pretty similar. Currently on my workbench being completely disassembled for proper cleaning, removal of varnished oil, and rebuilding. I do a much deeper, part by part, screw by screw restoration process. I can afford to do that because it's just a labor of love and I don't have the pressure of having to balance labor vs. selling price. Hoping it runs this smoothly once it's all back together.

great video.

This was a great help - I found a slightly different model in my grandfather's old workshop last year, but someone had put the bronze piece in without slotting it under the iron rod correctly, so the iron protrusion on the split nut was hitting the rod instead and had bent it slightly out of shape. They had wired the bronze piece against the split nut, so I knew it wasn't correct, but when I cut the wire off and spun the handle, the bronze piece fell out without the rod to support it. For months, I thought it must be missing some kind of retaining ring for the bronze - this makes so much more sense. Now to finish restoring it!

Tengo una igual la ando vendiendo

my 206k industrial sub version with the kneelift has the same needles bar what needles does your pfaff use are the round shank the needle is a size 130

whats it like over 12layers of denim like the hem at the bottom of your jeans or bulky seems

Now I want one too.

Hi, Does it back stick a few stitches to lock the seam?

I had never heard of these machines until I saw one in a flea market. It is in a very nice wood cabinet and the machine looks like brand new. Picked it up for $40.

Hola ! Alguien puede decirme cua'nto cuesta la Pfaff 130 ,asi' en esa condicio'n? Gracias. Me decepcionan las ma'auinas pla'sticas

Thank you. I just got my new Elna and appreciate you making this video for me!

Beautiful stitching!

Hi where did you find out it was from WW2?

Is this machine model still advisable to use in 2024??

i just picked up a singer 31k 47 has the same parts on for the walking foot will the fit off of a singer 132k fit it seems slimmer than the one on my machine im not sure if its a pipeing foot

merci beaucoup grace a votre film ,j ai pu graissé et régler mon point droit . pourriez vous m'indiquez un site et les références pour une courroie de volant , l'ampoule , et le disque en caoutchouc qui entraine pour faire les canettes . vous en remerciant par avance cordialement odile catoire

Thanks. I just picked up one of these machines, and now i know what i have. Could you tell me what is the heaviest thread this machine can use? I work with leather, so that will be the primary use for this.

I have 6 singer machines love them, my favorite 15k i have two 👍

Thanks, excellent demo.

I love your video. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on putting the disl back together and any adjustments to the dial. Mine was frozen, now it moves but the needle position keeps changing and will not stay in place. It also seem like the back part of the dial rubs on the gears at certain times. Just looking for sone friendke advice on this.

Be careful changing stitches with needle down positions. Could break the needle

My hubby just brought home this machine 5/1/24! I thought it was an older 15 model. Mine is fully seized up, filthy, missing the slide plate next to the needle plate (name?), rusty, and has some sort of green putty like substance in various places. I immediately took a paint brush and vacuum cleaner to it, since AZ has critters I don't want in my bedroom workshop! Thank you for the information in your video. Oh! I think the balance wheel is from another machine. I wish I could attach a photo.

I'm envious... I have the same one and it doesn't work. It does not sew evenly and after 4-5 stitches the thread breaks. Please advice for settings. God bless you.

Thanks for this. My machine's a newer 335 version but basically the same as your great old Pfaff here and you've explained this process really well!

What would you expect to pay for a old used machine in working condition ?

Hi there thanks for the video you did on the brother 837 Can you tell me where you got the online manual from please for the machine Would you sell me a copy ? Kind regards Simon

How to use

Hi, my dad bought me this machine, for upholstry. I had 2 jobs I've dine, just fine, my brother did his motorcycle seat, and now we can't get it to sew, when it does, it skips, or completely unthreads. Funny, because the lady he bought it from, actually used it for making sails! I'm very bummed I cannot get it sewing now. Any advice? I sew in a mattress facorty, and i typically have a preety good understanding on the basics of a machine, but i am baffled.

Can someone tell me how to thread the 15-91 machine

Hi there Thanks for the video I’ve just bought on of these Have you got a link for a user manual please 🙏

What is the spring clip on the needle bar?

Does this have a stitch length adjustment? I am about to buy one identical to this one and you sold me with the ease of service.

You'll need to replace that Wynn Filter every 6 months or so - that means thousands of dollars over 5 years. It's not truly washable as water doesn't expel anywhere close to all the particles that'll clog the filter baffles - it'll cake and cause filter caking effect, constraining airflow, straining the motor and destroying your blower over time.

Love my Inca 259……fabulous table saw!

There a good machine.

Pretty neat. I have one of these that was produced in late-1923. It was my grandmother's. I don't sew, but the machine and cabinet are in my basement.

I have a Singer 101, manufacture date 1-9-1923. That said how do I know what I have. Are there models 101, 101-4 and 101-12? My dad used it to sew miniature (toy) horse harnesses in the 70s and 80s with my 101. I'd like to get it cleaned up and sew something with it. I just see 101-4 & 101-12 manual. How can I tell what 101 sub number I have? Are they all so similar that it really doesn't matter?

Is the no dog movement in reverse desirable in the 145 as well?

Such a beautiful machine love it

Thanks for uploading this video. I have the same machine with same problem. Following your instructions I successfully removed the cam rotating mechanism. What I noticed the mechanism can easily be taken off without removing the long rod if the lower part of the rectangular hole through which the rod passes is cut off. There seems to be no harm in cutting that as the mechanism will still be strongly held by the upper part of the hole. By doing this modification we can easily pull out the cam mechanism without disturbing the timing. I need your guidance please. Thanks and regards from India.

Where did you get the urethane tires?

I just had one of these given to me and it is also in pristine condition. I’m excited to learn more about this machine!🥰

Hey brother can you make a video on how to adjust tension on this machine the 145 h4 , i recently got this machine and ive been having problems with the tension , it bunches up

Hi thanks for the video. I bought my pfaff 138 with a cracked dial. The dial works, the mechanism is free, but once put in zig zag, the machine pushes the dial out of place. It seems like the machine is seezed up somewhere else. The arm at the head of the machine (where the needle bar moves up and down) is really hard to move from left to right. I have oiled it a few times, but it is really stiff and keeps pushing out the dial once I try to zig zag ( the 1,2,3 lever under the dial jumps and rattles) and then the whole mechanism is thrown off. ANY help is really welcome.
