Where to start...😃
This sewing machine has one interesting story, namely I bought it at a local ad, very cheap, I don't remember how many, given the price we didn't ask for a lot of details from the seller.
The machine arrived very quickly, as soon as I picked it up I wondered what kind of weight this is, what is inside the package is it a big stone or a sewing machine. ???
I open the package, I have something to see, the Pfaff 230 sewing machine is in perfect condition, I can freely say "mint condition", its box is absolutely new, I notice that there are no accessories and foot control ... pity ??? but ok, let's move on...
I took off the top cover a little harder, but then it was clear to me that the machine was probably not used for years, I took off the cover and saw a broken timing belt 😏...I try to start the machine by hand it goes very very hard, the lower axle is practically frozen, everything is stationary but perfectly clean and dry.
I see the serial number 5810738, I conclude that the machine was manufactured back in 1957.!
I'm still trying to move the machine mechanism for a while, I notice that it's impossible and that the complete machine has to be disassembled and cleaned to the fullest detail ... since I love challenges, I did it...
When I started disassembling the machine, I also noticed that there was no dust under the machine, under the needle plate, no pieces of thread, nothing, most likely the timing belet cracked on the machine soon after purchase, the owner covered it and left it somewhere clean a dry room where she had stood for decades...??!!
The disassembly of the machine itself could not be recorded, namely in those years the Pfaff factory used a strange mixture of grease for the first assembly lubrication, I read somewhere that it was a mixture of grease and paraffin oil ... mostly this factory grease turns into glue over the years and most circuits have to be heated to dissipate that fat, it was a very demanding job to replace and recording all that was impossible, if there are any questions on this topic feel free to write in the comments, I'll try to answer.
I bought a spray for dissolving stubborn grease, a combination of solvent, mild heating, persistence and caution not to do something wrong, not to break some part ... I was most afraid of plastic metal gear and dismantling the assembly around it, that was painstakingly and very carefully, and the slightest scratch could destroy the gear, I eventually succeeded.
Everything was ready and clean to assemble. This "story" of mine will be in three videos, the first two are assembly and the third is a sewing test.
I did my best to show as many details as possible, but I admit that some details are missing, in some places you can't see the screw I'm tightening, some parts are placed inside the machine so presentation is impossible. I repeat, feel free to ask anything that is not clear.
As I said this is the first video out of three, very soon the second part and then the third and final test.
Finally, let me say that during the assembly I use a mixture of synthetic grease and oil for sewing machines, the ratio is approximately 1-1, it is practically like the first lubrication in the factory, afterwards only oil is used. Let me also say that video not have any accompanying music, I don't think it is necessary, and for the smallest detail there are copyright issues, there is no background music.
Greetings to all sewing machine lovers, spectators and our Subscribers.
