Battery said the lights

I've never done it. I have a 1475CD, though, and subscribe to

Sew Fun, the list for Pfaff Dinosaurs. ;-) Any questions about old Pfaffs will be answered and done well. Including how to make a decent buttonhole with the 1475.

Ask on Sew-Fun. Someone will know.

I've found some very strange things in many manuals and instruction sheets. The Japanese have improved their command of English tremendously, but I remember many pages of hysterically funny instructions. One of my favorite cookbooks, a standard reference work written by a mother and daughter, left out some critical ingredients in a cake recipe. Nothing is foolproof. Few publications appear to be proofread, either.

If possible, i would take it to a Pfaff dealer to get the battery changed. Barbara (Pfaff 1471) My dealer is only 15 miles away

PILE is a more *general/historic* manner to specify a battery as in voltaic pile or carbon pile. and oddly none of my pfaff books including a service manual mentions the word pile.

Pile is used for what we call batteries in English in a number of languages -- alkaline flashlight batteries are "piles alcalines" in French. Not sure if that refers only to dry cells or what are more properly called batteries: in Spanish, there's a distinction made between pilas (flashlight cells) and baterias, car batteries.
