The 1245 was my very first sewing machine. I bought it in 1980. I still have it. She lives in my workshop. But I almost never use it.I used her every single day for over 30 years. She has made miles and miles of stitches. She deserves to sit in all her glory. Truly my favorite machine. Thanks for making this video I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just my opinion, I think you should have taken the entire machine apart and then cleaned every part. Every bearing surface should have been polished to a mirror shine.The bearings should have been checked possibly replaced and so on. JB weld most likely want hold plastic together for very long so, you'll have do that work over. Maybe you could have cut threads in the oilier box and added a threaded tube coupling or just made a new oilier box or, ordered one from a supplier. You did a fine job putting this video together. Thank you for your time.

Wow can't tell you how much I loved the video...and the sound! The brushes, the tools, the gears...simple yet amazing. I have the first Pfaff electronic home machine, the 1475 from 1985-ish. It's an all metal casting and made in 'West Germany.' Nothing sews like a Pfaff. Too bad the company exists now in name only, really, being applied to hybrid Husqvarna Viking machines made in China. :/ The Pfaff factory in Germany is now a shopping center. Sad. People don't value quality anymore. The last European sewing machine is Bernina, and only their top end machine and longarms are made in Switzerland, the rest are made in Thailand.
@AlexanderDyer6 жыл бұрын

The Pfaff Factory for these industrial machines was in Kaiserslautern Königstraße 154, I worked there from 1981 till 1992 including my apprenticeship there, good times! I worked in the assembly place and also made 1245s! So your Video brings back memorys! These machines were assambled not in line, they were pretty much assembled completely by one person, from empty housing to a working machine, then went to the place where they where tested, after that mounted on their table, electric stuff was done and after attaching small parts like tools etc. sent to the customer. Almost each part was made in the Kaiserslautern factory, back in that time about 5500 People worked there. Today there is a smaller new built factory near Kaiserslautern, most parts come from China, about 200 People work in that place, sad, really sad. household machines where made since 1957 in Karlsruhe-Durlach when Pfaff bought the Gritzner und Kayser Company till 1999 when that factory was sold Here the Kaiserslautern factory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZLTmnWIh7l5iKM

I have a Necchi 958-101 walking foot machine. I have a problem while sewing and that applies to stitches. The stitches are uneven. By no means can't adjust the thread tension because when I sew slowly, it is somewhat fine or more pulls the upper thread and when I sew quickly, then the upper thread pulls the lower one and can be seen on the stitches. I used YT videos as a reference to set the timing but again it's not the same machine, so I would ask you if you can tell me what the problem is. I would be very grateful.
