There isn't a lot of information on this model on the web yet, and the manual isn't readily available. We have the manual for the 1222E and the same threading and bobbin arrangement are common in this era of Pfaffs so that's no problem. She joins our little family of sewing machines, and has a cosy nest in her fantastically 1970s ORANGE retro case under my sewing table. You can see the fabulous case. YES, though made of metal, she is a COMPACT machine. Weighs a good bit more than my heavier Viking platinum, but way less than my 1222E. :) For her day she was a lean mean sewing machine! And spectacularly groovy in her case!

Pfaff 1199 comes home...
Many years ago at the same time I got my Pfaff 1222E, my mother-in-law got her Pfaff 1199. We inherited it a few years ago, but the search for a foot pedal took a long long time. Finally we got that, and then there was the hospitalization for a complete checkup and a new gear or two. Finally she is home again and sewing smoothly and beautifully.

i have a 1199 (it was a high school graduation present and my 30th reunion is in October ;-). i have downloaded a manual on the internet, let me know if you want the link
Where did you find the plug and foot pedal? I need one 😬
Foot pedal and cord - I suggest you contact Brubaker's Online. They are experts in old Pfaffs and have many parts! We sourced ours years ago - many years ago now - on eBay. Brubaker's is a reputable dealer with years of experience in a real store, and now they are selling only in their online store.
Thank you so much!
