This Machine is a vintage Machine. I'm guessing that it was produced in the late 70S early 80S. It is sort of a Hybrid. Computer/Mechanical I was Lucky with the first one that i Purchased ( i own several ) it came with the instruction book as well as most of the accessories that were included when the Machine was new. This Machine has a Thread holder that accepts Cones as well as Spools. It's a little bit strange because it swivels. It's placed in front for stowage and to use the Machine it's placed in the rear. The Threading is also a little bit different. You start in the back and move forward. Ending with the automatic Needle threader. It works really well. Also they vary in price quite a bit. This week I've seen them for sale between 89$ and 899$. It has indicators for top Feed, low Bobbin, Bobbin Winder. Stitch selection is a combination of Push Button and Dial. Mine came with a list of Monograms but i haven't figured out how to use this feature. The top Speed can be set which i really like. This is a very Smooth and well Built piece of Machinery. It's pretty heavy. OH and the Accessory Storage also swings and opens into two Compartments. You may be lucky to find one that doesn't have any of the Swinging Plastic Parts broken. The Machine itself is Metal. And the IDT is great. Very happy therefore highly recommended.Read full review

Recently bought a Pfaff Synchrotronic 1229 with IDT (integrated dual feeder technology, acronym for dual feeding mechanisms for both the top and bottom fabric so they stay in sync). It was manufactured in Germany and runs smoothly, quietly (compared to my old Kenmores), and quickly. The dual feed greatly reduces how much basting and rework I need to do. Wish I had known about the dual feed mechanisms and had bought a sewing machine with deal feed years ago.

I've had the " 1229" for over 25 years and wouldn't trade it for another. I also have two others and one singer and it's my favorite. Quiet and smooth!
