novaroper Report post Posted December 3, 2014 well I just got a chandler c267 and sews great and has same size bobbins as my juki563 what is the big diferance besides how the bobbin loads not sure which one to keep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted December 3, 2014 I would keep the LU563 Juki. Vey good machine, parts readily available, reverse and nice big bobbin. Plus Juki is a major name in sewing and the machine is proven. Is the Chandler and Adler 267 with the chandler name on it? glenn Please send us pics of each machine. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaroper Report post Posted December 3, 2014 the chandler has same size bobbin and reverse and I thought chandler was made by adler and adlers were made in germany but it says made in japan on the back so kind of cunfused about that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra Steve Report post Posted December 4, 2014 Adler used to distribute machines with the Chandler name on them back in the late 60's and 70's just like shoepatcher implied. They are no longer in business, but Juki is. I would stick with the Juki. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted December 4, 2014 They both are correct,keep the Juki feet & other accessories are a lot easier & lower priced for it because it is a very common machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaroper Report post Posted December 5, 2014 I got 3 or 4 different types of feet with this chandler they look like they will fit my juki will they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boilernspector Report post Posted December 5, 2014 I have a Chandler C267....and the manual. However, I can not locate any info on what this machine is capable of sewing or what needles and thread to use. I would like to be able to sew two pieces of leather together that are 4-5 oz ea. I've been trying using #69 nylon thread but it sheds at the needle eye and breaks... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaroper Report post Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I dont know much about that same machine since I just got mine but I already put #23 size needle in it and 135 thread and it sews like a dream with two pieces of 6-7 oz veg leather make sure you have plenty of thread tension Edited December 5, 2014 by novaroper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, I was just wondering where you got your manual for the Chandler C-267? I was finally able to restore my mothers machine but I haven't been able to locate a manual for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted November 30, 2015 Look for an Adler 267 Manual - should be the same machine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregg From Keystone Sewing Report post Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I was reading this and working off of memory (a bad thing for me to do, but it worked here) and I recalled an issue that came up years ago, and did some reading from my deleted emails. Hope this helps. The machine being refereed to here is a Nakajima, made in Japan, their model was 280L. This machine then became the Juki DNU-241(HS), and is now superseded by Juki's new and current model DNU-1541(S). Chandler, and independent dealer, would remove tags and brand this machine as "Chandler brand, model C-267". Not to be confused with an Adler 267. See attached image and owners manual to reconfirm this. Parts and accessories are readily available for this machine. Hope this helps, you have two really good Juki type machines there, both are from about the same vintage. I was reading this and working off of memory (a bad thing for me to do, but it worked here) and I recalled an issue that came up years ago, and did some reading from my deleted emails.

I was finally able to restore my mothers machine but I haven't been able to locate a manual for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi, it's me again, I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the "Chandler C-267" operators manual? I would be interested in a copy that says "Chandler C-267", I would be willing to purchase a copy if anyone has one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted November 30, 2015 Oh - holly crap - I did not know. I only knew Chandler sold the Adler 67 as Chandler 67 so I assumed the C-267 would be the Adler 267. I always learn something new every day! Thanks for the info Gregg! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
