Nothing bugs me more then a machine just sitting there waiting to get working , i was thinking why not just try string since the original was just string with staples , what makes it work is there is a tensioner at the bottom of the machine that i was able to adjust to tighten the string , now i do have to keep in mind not to tighten too much so i dont put to much stress on the motor bearings so its a gamble i have to take in order to enjoy her , im still tinkering with it as we speak , its due for a full overhaul still . I plan on doing another video on her in the future...take care and happy new year to you as well ...
It does sound nice , cant believe i let it sit so long , the string worked better then i thought , what model of pfaff did you have ? Cant believe you would let one go , i dont see the old ones too often come on the market , maybe because the belts are so hard to get most people just shelf them . Thanks for watching....
i had a pfaff 360.cream color top..when i moved i sold it with regret .trying to downsize 😢probably should not have sold it.worked perfect.i still have too many machines but not as much as I used too.at least the person who bought it was a young man just starting his vintage machine collecting.im sure he loves it ❤
I am sure I will be using this trick, for the belt. Thank you. Could you video document your modifications/improvements to the bobbin? I suspect I have some bobbins that may need the same treatment.
I really wish you had shown us how you strung it. I could use this on my Kenmore machines, but really would like to know how you tied it off, how tight it was, etc. Great video, though.
Its just anormal double knot , nothing special just tied it snug then used the tensioner to put more pressure , the pfaff is a fixed motor with an adjuster wheel , so tention can be adjusted if the sting stretches , dont overtighten though, you dont want to much stress on the motor bearings, hope that helps ....thanks for watching

I need a Pfaff in my collection! Love the string idea - genius!
This one was a shelf queen far too long , figured how would someone back in the day do a simple fix ? It worked lol ....
Thumbs up, Dawson Nice machine! 😊
Thanks now i can do the service and see what it can do , its been sitting way too long ..thsnks for watching ..
Good job.
Thank you , its fun to experiment , especially when it works out ....
What an ingenious workaround Dawson to replace the belt! And such a sweet machine. Thank you for sharing with us and yes, happy new year!🎉

It was just an experiment , i didnt think it would work , makes me wounder what else can we use 🤔

The other belt is critical for the synchronisation.
You can use pantyhose for the treadle too
Lol i havent wore pantyhose in years .....thanks for the suggestion .....
. LOL 😅 I love your reply Dawson, gave me a belly laugh!
