Project of the day
I needed to oil my Pfaff 130 sewing machine, and thought I would look around on the net to see if there were instructions for how to do that task. Alas, there was no luck (someone had scanned a copy of the thing into scribd, but that’s one of those “YOU MUST HAVE AN ACCOUNT TO GET THIS FILE” websites) so I had to scrounge around my office and workshop to find my copy of the manual.
Eventually I found it, but it was enough of a time sink that I wanted to get a copy into a place where it would be easier to look for the next time I needed to oil the machine. So I sat down for a hour this afternoon between passes of sewing handlebar bag components and transcribed the instructions into a markdown document for future reference.
Whew. That’s a lot of typing. And the scanned figures aren’t high enough resolution yet, so I’ll have to rescan the lot of them (and put the FIG X captions on, since html doesn’t have a good way to do that aside from table trickery.) But at least it’s on the web now, in a form that I can look at without fuss, muss, or bother.
