I found three Pfaff Tiptronic machines on eBay, but not your exact model, but one of the models listed may be acceptable. When I searched, there was a 6720, 2030, and another 6720.
The 2030 was $299. When you click on the link, you may get a different selection because it will search for what is listed at the time you click on this link:

If this was helpful, please select YES to the first two RATINGS questions. Good Luck!

Make sure you have your spool of thread pushed all the way back on the spool pin with the proper size thread cap. Make sure your foot is in the up position, as this opens the tension discs. There is a small metal circle on top. Pull the thread behind it and under it and directly down. Come back up the other side and around the take-up lever. If you cannot see the take-up lever, move your handwheel until it is all the way up. After you have threaded it around the take-up lever, it comes back down this same side. On either side of your needle bar are two small metal clips. It doesn't matter which side you put the thread into. To put it into the clip, hold the thread taunt and pull it from the outside in against the clip. Now put your foot in the down position. When you pull the thread, it should be tight. Push your needle threader all of the way down. It has a tiny (extremely tiny) hook that will come through the eye of the needle. Wrap the thread around the metal bar/hook on it and gently bring it in front of the needle but under the metal guides that are in front of the needle eye. This next part takes some coordination, gently realease the thread as you simultaneously release the threader. It should pull a loop of thread through the back of the needle.
Also, when you wind a bobbin, you must thread it through the top of the metal disc on top and not underneath it. This provides the correct amount of tension for bobbin winding.
If you are not sure if you have threaded correctly, with the foot in the up position, pull on your thread. It will pull freely off the bobbin. With the foot down you should have a lot of resistance. Good luck to you!

no, it will definately run fine in Australia.Electricity in South Africa is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second which is the same as Australia. The voltage in Aus and SA will be somewhere between 220/240v most of the time.

the only information i can find for you on SA Pfaff is a dealer, here are the particulars If you call them, they can instruct you better what to do :)

You need to purchase ball point needles. Please visit your sewing center. they should have a full line of needles.

Solution to what We need to know what is happening.

try carefully rethread top thread

Sounds like you need to put a drop of clear sewing machine oil in the raceway of the hook. Then sew on some scrap material to soak up the excess oil.

There is a small clear plastic piece blocking the switch that must be removed, then use a small flat screw driver to flip the switch, you can throw away the small piece, it is only needed for shipping.
good luck!

There is a small dimmer dial just below the display, it is turned up all the way. Sometimes the dial breaks and won't work, a repair shop is needed for this.
Hope that helped.

If you are unable to get any stitches at all then it could be your hook basket has spun out of position and it needs to go to a repair shop.
Hopefully it is just a matter of cleaning out the upper tension discs from any lint or thread that is in there. (Make sure the presser foot is up when threading so the discs are open and the thread gets down into them completly and that the tension dial is not set too low or on zero).
I hope this helps, good luck!

Good morning,

A question to help determine what's happening with your machine(s).

Open the bobbin case so you can see the bobbin area. Begin by trying to turn the handwheel towards you and watch as the needle attempts to go up/down. If you cannot turn the handwheel towards you, turn it slightly backwards then forwards. Does the needle hit the bobbin case as it comes down?

If yes, your machine is out of time and will require a professional technician to repair.

If the above is not the case, there may be thread jammed behind the bobbin case or wrapped around the inner parts of the take-up lever.

Either case - a Pfaff authorized technician would be your best bet for a proper repair.

Best of luck with your machines - it's just awful to not have the at the ready for all our projects!

Happy sewing,
Kim & Linnette
