1. Reviving an Old PFaff Hobbylock 794, can this be saved? Abis Den

I picked up this potential beauty for just one pound plus postage, and in this video I explore whether it can be restored for a proper second life. The aim is simple: to help keep well engineered machines working as they were always intended, rather than seeing them discarded too soon in the throw away culture we live in. This Pfaff was built in an era when solid metal frames and precision Delrin style gears were designed for decades, if not lifetimes of service, not just short product cycles. That kind of engineering rewards careful inspection and thoughtful maintenance, and I will show you the techniques I use to assess, clean, lubricate, and adjust a machine with respect for how it was originally made. The focus here is not quick fixes or cosmetic tricks, but practical methods that genuinely extend the working life of good equipment while saving you unnecessary expense. If you enjoy understanding how things function and learning how to care for them properly, you are in the right place. 00:00 Introduction and first impressions 00:42 The story behind this Pfaff Hobbylock 01:18 External condition and build quality 02:05 Removing the outer casing 03:02 Engineering overview and Delrin gears 04:10 Cleaning years of dust and lint 05:12 Lubrication points and correct oiling 06:08 Testing the mechanism by hand 07:02 First powered run 08:00 Stitch test and tension checks 09:10 What still needs attention 10:02 Final thoughts on restoration value Enjoy.
