Hello good folks at alt sewing.

An upcoming estate auction has a Pfaff Tipmatic 6110.
The lady was a quilter, it seems.
Is this a specialty machine ?
Anything to look for - problems or wear-out areas ?
Value ?
Comments / opinions are welcome.
Thanks. John T.

Fair quality machine. Last blue book on it was $181.00

Back in the 90s, I bought the 6120 and really used it for over 10-years,
before I received an embroidery machine. It held up well, although I never
did any quilting or used heavy fabric.
I still use it sometimes, especially for buttonholes because they are easy
to make and look really good.

Thanks, Ron.
I'm not sure what bluebook means, though. ?
Would parts be available/difficult/ in Canada ?

If you are in UK / Europe Pfaff
is probably more common ?
I wonder if parts might be a problem in North America ?

There's a little blue book that's a guide to help dealers determine the
trade-in value of sewing machines.

Should not be a problem.

Blue book is just a value indicator. Was used as a value guide for trade ins
on other machines.
Part should not be an issue yet.

I am in TX, southen USA, and I know there are many Pfaff dealers around.

I have to say, I've never needed a repairman, but I am diligent in having my
machines cleaned and adjusted(TLC) on a regular basis. I am in my late 70s
and have been sewing for over 65-years.

Thanks, Claire & everyone who replied.
I did try a google for reviews but must have mis-typed
or something - got very few hits - many non-English.
