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.

I have the 332 service manual and instruction manual, neither tell you how to take of and replace the balance wheel belt. Halp!

Me Encanta como explica o como da la practica. Soy de Venezuela
J'aime la pahff 230 et 260 très solide
Peut-être que vous ne le savez pas, ce sont de vieilles machines à coudre qui n'ont pas été produites depuis longtemps. Des exemples d'occasion peuvent être trouvés en Europe, et ils sont apparemment très rares au Cameroun. Je ne savais pas que les Camerounais utilisaient le français.
Salutations de la Bosnie au lointain Cameroun. 🙂
Very helpfull videos, thanks!
I just purchased a Phaff 230. It has no cord or manual so the hunt begins. thank you for your videos
I sent a message to your paypal account, please check, thanks
Ben de 230 PAF aldım ama kullanma kılavuzu yok nasıl kullanacağımı bilmiyorum varsa yapabilir misiniz

Hi, is that MAIN SHAFT on that stitch width and needle position meant to have a “ SPRING “ before attaching the Stitch width DIAL/ BUTTON? Pardon my ignorance ( and for asking repeatedly questions) , because the service manual for PFAFF 332 on the last page shows a spring ( part # : 105 167 ) pressure spring for Zigzag Button . Also it mentions about Lower set screw (175) of notched member ( part # : 105 163 ). You being a real expert ( and my iconic role model !) , I shall be greatly indebted if you can share your knowledge please. Thanks a million. Ramana.
You do not need to apologize when you ask a question, the problem is sometimes that the answer cannot be described in words, you have asked the question well and it can be answered,
First: Lower set screw (175) of notched member ( part # 105163 ),
23:18 ,that screw is not needed and the machine cannot function properly with that screw! I installed it but later removed it, it was on the machine and it is not clear to me how and why, the specified part # 105163 must have a spring on the inside of the machine, unfortunately this was not recorded, the spring constantly pulls the specified part towards the needle position regulator.
Else: spring ( part # 105167 ) pressure spring for Zigzag Button,
it is true that in the service manual there is a specified spring in the picture, but it is not there on the Pfaff 230 and logically I do not know what the 24:30 would be for.
By the way, the restoration of this type of machine is rarely done even in the international framework, it is a complex mechanic, but high-quality and long-lasting.
As far as I know, this is a unique video on RUclips, but few people are interested in it. Best regards
I have a 360.
What could be wrong if the stitch length is 1 mm in position 0? Thanks your answer!
There are differences between Pfaff 230 and Pfaff 360, the models are very similar in principle. You do not have a serious malfunction, the problem is in the stitch length regulator, the service manual and the parts catalog describe this item quite well...

Pfaff 360 Service Manual: ruclips.net/video/Qe7Kqnb7fHQ/видео.html
I came across one of these in a barn at an estate sale. It has a very unique feature though, it has had its internal motor removed and has been mounted to an industrial table with a clutch motor. The machine is in bad condition, with many of the parts being rusty and it missing the belt that connects the main wheel to the feed dogs. The clutch motor works though and I oiled the machine and got it unfrozen. I’m wondering if you think it would be worthwhile to restore this machine (the belt seems to be very rare and expensive) the only reason I would restore this is to have a Machine more powerful than my domestic machine. I was wondering if you think this machine is strong enough to take advantage of the power of the clutch motor. On another note, any idea where to get parts that aren’t extremely expensive?
There are cases where this series of sewing machines is placed on an industrial table, it is difficult for me to say whether something goes wrong, you have to bear in mind that the internal timing belt is very likely old and can break very easily, because from the description we can see that the machine is neglected and was exposed to moisture and corrosion.
A clutch motor does not necessarily mean that it has some super power, read its characteristics on the plate, it can look big and have a power of 300 W.
However, if you decide to buy and train that sewing machine, it will have more power at high revolutions, and this will not be significant for you. The trend is servo motors that have a strong torque at a minimum number of revolutions.
Please my needle is fitting well into that hole, even when I screw it very tight, it keeps falling off.
Any help please?
So you have a Pfaff 230 sewing machine and you can't clamp the needle on it.?
It is very likely that the needle clamp does not work, the needle clamp is made up of several small parts, if you are skilled enough it is necessary to remove the needle clamp, disassemble it, inspect it in detail and clean it, you must do this very carefully so as not to lose one part of the needle clamp, in that in this case you have to look for a replacement. It can also happen that the needle clamp is irreparably destroyed.
Thank you once again for another great video. I notice that I have a hairline crack in the nylon (?) white gear you put in at 10:00. Maybe some day it will crack in half and I have to replace. Can it be done with out alot of other stuff that has to come out first? Thank you in advance. How often to you completely remove everything like you are doing now it is amazing I would not even try ha ha Thank you from Alberta Canada P.S. I subscribed a while back and unless you have two channels it shows I am not subscribed? I did it again and hit the alarm
@Linda Morgan
The plastic-metal gear at 10:00 is very difficult for amateurs to replace, even sewing machine repair shops avoid it.
To replace it, almost everything in the upper part of the sewing machine must be removed.
Check if it's a crack,? there is a small line on the gear which very often looks like a crack.?
I rarely do this, this time I got a machine in excellent condition ("mint") with a broken timing belt and then I took advantage of the situation and performed a complete restoration.
I don't have two channels, thanks for watching and sharing our videos. Greetings to you from distant Bosnia.
I am restoring a pfaff 360 and I am trying to take the main shaft out, perhaps could you tell me how to take off the bushing for the handwheel since there is no pin in it to be removed as with the pfaff 230.Thanks for the answer.
So it's the bushing on the right side of the main shaft that the handwheel is mounted on.?
I can't remember about the Pfaff 360, I can't believe it doesn't have a pin like on the pfaff 230, the parts catalog shows that there is..?
If you cannot remove it, free the counter side, let the sleeve remain on the shaft, I advise you to work very carefully, watch the shaft, even the slightest damage can make it difficult to remove from the bearing and remove all the installed parts on the shaft, watch out for the plastic-metal gear...etc. this is the parts catalog: ruclips.net/video/lDfbHUrFBHA/видео.html
@@MasinskiKutak Thanks for your fast reply .Yes I mean the right side of the shaft.I checked again but no pin there on the bushing and indeed the catalog (that I studied well )shows there should be a pin , but there is not. Perhaps it was changed in the past with a similar shaft from another model.I will try to look for other catalogs .I will follow your advise and work from the other side or maybe just leave it.Have a nice day.
Well done,My pfaff 230 locks and cant rotate any help? Tanx in advance.
What do you mean "locks", sometimes it turns hard or stop completely..? When it works, does it sew normally?
When it stops, avoid starting the engine, start it manually, it is difficult to determine the location of the blockages, it can be in many places, I assume that the machine was not regularly maintained and thoroughly lubricated, maybe someone once used oil that was not suitable... If you have any additional please write a comment...
Great video. On my machine the bobbin case and bobbin rotate together. Can’t seem to solve the issue. I have the needle arm sit in the slot then needle won’t go up and down. I can’t find what exactly is the cause.
I didn't understand very well, on your machine, I guess the Pfaff 230 the bobbin case and the bobbin turn together but the needle doesn't go up and down either??
Thank you. I have 332 machine. Do you explain how to remove the bobbin case sub assembly then may be I will be able to fix the issue. What am trying to say is the bobbin outer case and inner mechanism rotate together when they shouldn’t. Bobbin should stay still while the other case (with hook) should rotate. Mine they don’t (they used to). So I am lost as to what exactly is the issue.
Yes, there is a rotating part and a standing part, watch this video and you will see the part that holds the standing part as well as where the thread goes through.

You have great resources on your page, but something I seem to be missing/not finding on your site are places to order the more difficult parts such as the cleated belts and others that are not after-market stand-ins.
Thank you, yes it's true that I don't have anything for sale at the moment, I did it on eBay for 5-6 years and gave up, many reasons influenced my departure, first of all, difficult customs barriers, shipping... although I sold mostly parts of old sewing machines. I do it all by myself and I couldn't take the pressure, it was too much for me.
Thank you once again for your comment and suggestion, greetings from distant Bosnia.
@@MasinskiKutak: I meant you did not have links to places on the internet that sell them. Online stores and such that stock those parts.
Hello, please I need help with my Pfaff 332. Suddenly the zig zag button blocked. I already pulled it off and tried to go back and forth on the screwed rod which remained on the position of the button but it does not moves, at all. Not even a little. It looks like some sort of mechanical error. What can I do.
You may find the Pfaff 332 service manual useful: www.masinskikutak.com/2021/11/pfaff-service-manual-adjustment-vintage.html
I'm having trouble finding a parts list, or part numbers,my Pfaff 230 is missing the gray housing cover for the plastic gear behind the hook assembly and the 2 set screws that go to the hook assembly. Any help very much appreciated.
I have a parts catalog for the Pfaff 260, that assembly is identical to the Pfaff 230.
cover part number: 91-008 836-05
screws: 91-000 073-15
I'm not sure these numbers will help you, they are very rare parts, you can try to make the cover of spiral gear out of plastic, I don't think it's a problem.

What is that part @1.55 , if I may ask ? What system is it connected with?
This is the part that is connected to the stitch length system and the back and forth sewing option.
Your mechanical expertise is fantastic.. I realize these were well made German machines, but parts are impossible to find at this point. Pfaff, Singer, Viking, Elna, are all previously fine European machines that are now constructed from plastic and made in China. These companies no longer provide any parts in the U.S. I find that it is more practical for me to use a well constructed U.S. made machine ( Singer 401-500 ) and use "junk machines" for spare parts..
Yes, the old European sewing machines are really good quality, you forgot about the Swiss Bernina, and they moved a good part of the production to the east. Times are changing and with it sewing machines, when it comes to home sewing machines, the quality is very questionable, there are no longer sewing machines that will last for decades, I think that "epoch" is over, most cheap sewing machines today are produced for short-term use and very often they are unprofitable to repair, they are used until they break and then they are thrown in the trash, more or less the same with most household appliances.
I am also a fan of old metal home sewing machines, I prefer Bernina and Pfaff, original parts can be found on scraps, I sold parts on ebay for 5 years, people are looking for it, the biggest demand is in the USA, I left it because of procedural questions.
Thank you for watching us and greetings from distant Bosnia.
Muy Hermosa máquina de coser, una verdadera joya.
