As a “Let’s take that apart and fix it!” girl…I want to go to Texas and have a heated “chat” with the doofus repair schmuck responsible for that carnage!! That is just cruel to the owner and wrong to the sewing universe to have dismantled that beautiful 1471 with no idea of how to repair it. Posting this as I currently ponder the fate of my own 1471….my checkbook is pretty flat right now, so….ugh. Thanks for posting this!💕🧵
The irony of this "mess" is that as Glenn Smith says, "this was hand carried into the shop", and he stated that they were from Texas. The average distance between the two states is 1,575 miles, or almost 23 hours of straight drive time (one way). Glenn did not say that it was "a delivery", which would have been discussed with Glenn on the phone before hand. Even at 6 Bones, ($600) it would mean that there was $0 value for the box carried into Glenn's shop. Something doesn't make sense. I find owners of Pfaff machines to be quite discerning, and I'm not sure I've ever met a sewing repair person that would be that incompetent. Who in the interest of repair cuts conductors on the motor, without pulling the brushes first & checking? Also, any motor tech knows, the commutator is cut and then the mica is relieved. Sand paper is a "hack job". Something doesn't make sense!
If that was mine I would gladly pay $600 to fix it lol.

That is sad.
