Pfaff 206 - Thoughts?

$55 at the thrift shop, so sticker price is fine. It seems to run smoothly. As you can see, it’s pretty grimy looking. Definitely well used. I think it would be necessary to bring it in for professional servicing so that’s another $150 or so.

I’m not at all familiar with Pfaff machines. Does anybody have any insight to share? Pros and cons and so forth? Do you think this homely German lady is worth the bother and the cost?

Note: I’m not a beginner and I do have other machines. What I don’t have is extra space, but if this machine is worth it, I can find a home for her. 😊
