pfaff Tipmatic 6120 Archived Article.

Just found this machine at Goodwilll with its case and accessories [$19.99!!] but no cord/foot pedal or manual...dang it....so I do not even know if it works.It is also missing its lid with the stitches showing on it. I have no idea how many stitches it is supposed to have or which buttons to push to make them! LOL Not going to buy a manual till I find out if it works. Does anyone know anything about this machine? Good one? Bad one?? Worth it to fix it up?
I don't care about the lid [good thing- I doubt I could find a lid] if I can find a photo or something with those stitches listed.
I cannot find any info online through Google so hoping one of you has experience.

Great Find !!!

I have a 6122. The 6120 must be pretty similar. I'm sure it is an excellent mechanical machine.

Aren't the stithces shown on the buttons?

Someone on this website paid $425 for a 6120 two years ago.

Re: pfaff Tipmatic 6120 Archived Article.

Thanks! I did take a look at that review.
I was hoping it was a good find. :)
It shows 21 stitches on the buttons. Not sure if that includes everything.However I thought you had to push two at the same time to get the second stitch that shows on the button?? That is where I am in trouble - not sure which two to push. Long ago I had a 1540 and it was that way but I traded it for my 7570 and forget what I had to do.

Besides the missing lid and leads it is a nice clean machine. I suspect it works fine.The accessories look to have been unused.The needle pack is unopened.

Fingers crossed I am right about it working fine!!

Re: pfaff Tipmatic 6120 Archived Article.

I would certainly take it to a dealer and have it checked out. I'm sure any Pfaff service center would have a foot pedal they can use to see if the machine is in working order before you order a new pedal.

I think you are right about some of the stitches require two butons to be pushed. If the machine works, I'm sure it is worth buying a manual and a foot pedal.

Re: pfaff Tipmatic 6120 Archived Article.

Any sewing machine dealer can test a machine to see if it works if there is not a Pfaff dealer near you.. They should be able to wire it up and check that it runs. Be sure and get a quote for a price as all dealers want to service machines. If it runs, your Pfaff should be serviced before you use it very much . Good Luck!
