It is rare to find a Pfaff hand crank and here is a good one that now is good to go any place it can be comfortably used. We will supply the Pfaff 130 as a hand crank also.This model 30 was made in 1954 through 1958.

This is a clean and little used sewing machine. The decals are not worn through along the edge. It is a strong straight stitch sewer with reverse stitch.

The custom tray is required to use this model out of a case or cabinet. Part of the lower shafts will hit he floor if on the feet of the head.

This unit can be motorized by just removing the hand crank and installing a motor. In this configuration it is good to go off grid (Like at sea).

Very little alteration was required to use the hand crank and will never be a problem used with a motor or in a treadle.

This one lever sets the stitch length and sewing direction. Note this sewing machine was made in England about 9 years after the bitter World War ended.

This is the top thread tension system. It is balanced now with the bobbin case tension and sews a very good stitch.

Many low shank feet will fit this Pfaff. Most if not all of the accessories used on Singers should work fine on this all German sewing machine.

The hand crank attaches to the motor boss. It works very well and will sew without a problem for years.

This view shows nicely how the hand crank fits onto the Pfaff. It plainly is a very fine fit that allows the sewing machine to stitch just as it was designed to do.

The bobbin/hook area on the Pfaff is superior engineering. The two inset screws release the entire system where it may be serviced with ease. Regular Pfaff bobbins are required and are easy to find. I just love Pfaff engineering.

Strong construction is apparent throughout and it is all machined to a high degree of perfection.

When kept clean and lubricated this machine will 'live' for many decades to come and go all the way trouble free.

Test stitching to balance tensions between the upper and lower threads shows it to be fine. Looks like the system was a bit oily during the stitching. Sorry about that.

Several bobbins and a packet of new sewing needles are included with a set of manuals on a CD disc. Your ready to sew if you have thread and something to sew on.
