Pointer Point Knobs

Question about sewing machine parts? 10 points available!?

ok so im trying to sell my pfaff sewing machine. and this women asked if she could buy these parts off of it, horizontal spool pin assembly, and the stitch length knob and pointer. can anyone tell me what these parts are and where there located?

It's a little tricky to try to describe these things without a diagram of the machine...but here goes.

The "horizontal spool pin assembly" is generally the part that holds the thread on the top or side of the machine, in a sideways manner. The link below shows a picture of a Pfaff model, but I have no idea if it's the right one for your machine.

The "stitch length knob and pointer" should be on the front of the machine...it should be a lever that can be moved up and down, and you'll see that the placement of the lever corresponds to a guide on the machine's housing. Generally, the guide will display numbers (1 - 3, for example), but your machine may also display this graphically (with lines showing varying lengths). Also, this lever will generally have threaded knob at the end, which tightens up to keep it from drifting away from where you've set it. The second link, below shows a Singer version of this. I wasn't able to find the Pfaff version.

The third link, below, shows a list of various machine parts manuals. If you can figure out which model is the right one, you can probably better identify exactly where these parts are on your machine.

And finally..the last link below leads to a website where these parts can be ordered by email. In the long run, it might be better to have this nice woman buy the replacement parts from a dealer, so that you can leave your machine whole...you'll probably get a better price for a machine with all the parts, than you might get for the parts alone.
