Hej Knut, I like it! This is the best type of treadle stand. Minimalist design, well suited for a tight shoe repair shop. Great job as usual! Trox

Her is a a 20th century Norwegian pedestal, next time I will show you a modern one.

Great stuff,let`s see some pictures

Hello SilverStar! The Adler class 105 barrel shuttle cylinder bed is made of Koch Adler from 1950 to 1980. It is A saddler machine and will sew up to ½ inch of leather or other material. The under class 25 Mo is special made for sewing moccasins. It has drop feed and a driven upper foot (jump foot) It still is a very good machine and has superior quality. I found a leaflet on the German company Sieck.de for you. Trox adler-0105-mo-rm-25.pdf

Hi! That is because the needle is punching down true the leather and makes a exit wound. The bottom stitches will never look as good as the top ones on firm leather, this is normal. Hammering the seam flat will make it look better. You can use a sponge with some water before you hammer it; if needed. But this you know already. The bottom stitch looks better with one size thinner thread than the top one. Adjustment are the tension and foot pressure. The right size of needle will also matter. A shorter stitch might also improve. But post a picture of it, that is the only way to determine if it looks normal. Trox

No thank you; I will not call him. I am still waiting for some small parts that I paid for last year. He says it lost in the mail. And I he lost a customer I am afraid.

Hi Wiz! Did you pimp any of your machineswith a bigger pulley? Or do you know of anybody else doing it the same way as the Harnessman. What about after marked parts for big heavy Adler and Singer stitchers. Like the Ferdinand Bull did with some stock sewing machines, converted them to Bull Machines. With among other parts; bigger hand wheels. Anybody knows where to get parts like that? Did he make those big hand wheels himself or ordered them from Asia. Is it any suppliers selling stuff like that? Trox

Hello Arno Say hello to Andreas from me, Tor in Oslo Norwegen. He is a great guy to deal with. If you go there to try the clones, please tell me what you think of the Adler 205 clone compared to the Juki 441 clone. The Adler 205 clone has the highest price there, that is maybe so because it is a copy of a German well known product. Or maybe it is like Sieck sayes; a better and stronger machine than the Juki 441 copy (clone) How thick/thin will they sew, max/min needle and tread size.......Which machine needs the most adjustment by thread switching and so on... I am very interested in the outcome of that test, And it will make a good topic here in the forum. 200 km is what; one hour on the autobahn? Gute fart! Thanks Trox

Hello Ulli! I also have a Adler 5-27 and I love this machine. I have been looking for that manual for a very very very long time. Please send me a copy and thank you very much! My email is: tor dot rougseth att online dot no It is hard to get parts for the class 4 and 5 to, I was looking for a tension screw for the shuttle for a long time. I had to buy a new ( second hand) shuttle from sieck.de Germany to solve it. Sieck has some parts for the class. In advance Thanks! Regards Trox

Hi! I bought a 600-watt brushless servomotor from Cobra Steve for my Adler 67 upholstery machine 145 Usd. He had to order mine from china because I use 220V (Norway), but the 110V he has in stock. It is a very strong motor with a led and a dial on the front. You can set the maximum speed from 100 to 3600 rpm/min. This motor is made for the heavy stitchers; it is very direct on the foot pedal and brakes instantly. (stepless change of speed on the foot pedal) It will make your Singer 111 W very strong and controllable. He also has a servomotor with needle position. See video on the web page: http://www.leathermachineco.com/. The motor weigh only 5, 5 kg and that is a good thing, shipping to Norway only 75 Usd. I am very happy with the motor and Steve’s service.

Hello Jim! The Tippermann and GA 5 has the wrong feed and is both yesterdays news. The Toro 3200 has the right triple feed and will sew thicker stuff. But if I was to buy a new machine I would speak to Cobra Steve here. And buy a Cobra 3 or 4 machine. You will get the best machine for the price, you will also get the best support . Trox

Hello Millman! There are parts lists for some of the singer motor's on singerco.com Taking things apart is how we learn, and it fun to. I got several old singer clutch motor laying around. I would have given you one for Free, but i am located in Norway, and they weighs a ton. Trox i

The stitches seems loose! Are you sure you got enough bobbin tension? The spring you talk about is it the bobbin push-out spring? It is conical and goes under the bobbin. Try to turn it the other way and see if it that helps. And check your treading to. Trox

Hello Custom Doug! This is a old black Adler 30 painted green. From this pic. I can not see any details, but it do not look good! 350 Usd. is a no go! Trox

Shuttle hook for a Adler class 5 or 4 sewing machine wanted, new or used.

Hei! Ja en Efka variostop!? Jeg har en Adler 204 med efka variostop, litt eldre enn din men har posisjon og kan sy så sakte jeg vil. I tilegg har jeg montert en Speed reducer så den er sterk som en Svensk Norsk grense bjørn. En Adler 205 370 står på ønskelisten min, men jeg har ikke råd nå. Fordi jeg har kjøpt så mange andre maskiner. Har snart huset fyldt med sy maskiner. Jeg får klare meg med min gamle Adler 5-27 så lenge. (modellen før Adler 105 med jump fot) veldig god maskin, men håpløst å få tak i deler til den. Nei når vi snakker om sy maskiner så er det nazi mekanikken som gjelder! Usa har jo også noen fantastiske Needle and awl maskiner, men hvor ofte har man bruk for å sy en inch of leather? jeg kan ikke huske å ha gjort det noen gang. Det som er viktig er å ha noe man trives å jobbe med og som ikke trenger justering for hver ny ting man skal sy. Når det gjelder pressisjon og kvalitet er det tyske i en klasse for seg selv. Så har du annen håndverdien, du finner aldri en billig Adler maskin. På Kina klonene ruster alle skruene opp på et år ( noen er bra andre dårige) Skal man sy veldig tykke matterialer kan man få tak i en Adler klasse 20 eller 120 (syr 1 inch uten noe problem) Hvis man skal ha en friarm maskin som syr enda grovere enn 205`en gjør, kan man modefisere litt. Få tak i et større svinghjul og bygge høyere løft etc. Slik som Ferdco gjorde med sine Bull maskiner og Kina gjør med sine Juki kloner. Eksempel; Adler 105 Bull. Jeg har tenkt å finne ut hvor jeg får tak i disse modifirerings delene. Det er et lite prosjekt jeg har for fremtiden, når og hvis jeg får det til skal jeg si ifra. Det er flere Kinesiske produsenter som lager deler som passer Adler maskiner og jeg har handlet deler der før. En Adler 205- 370 med med høyt løft, Mega flywheel, speed reduser, luft og Efka posisjon motor det er The real Dream Machine! He he! Vi snakkes! Hilsen a sewing machine freak Tor

Hei! It is the Dream machine! Glem Kina cloner Adler ruler! Bra Jobb! Jeg ble inspirert! Tor

Hello John! What is a split arm machine? (I am Norwegian) Can you please explain? Is it a machine like this my 29K 72 Long arm big bobbin with a cluch motor you are looking for? Trox

Hammering the seam so the stitches closing around the thread. Then cut the thread all off with a sharp pointed scissors dont burn it. Trox

If you search the sewingmachine forum for "durkopp" you will find it. I just did and It is the one that you can not get parts for: The price is to high! dont buy it! Trox

This is from Durkopp Adler List over sewingmachine classes Durkopp class 16-1 : Universal-elastic sewing machine for shoe repairs Cylinder, 330 and 380 mm, with the smallest cylinder head CLASS 17-1-1: E sewing machine for shoemakers, heart-shaped curve for the Needle bar drive, otherwise similar in construction to the class 16-1, Cylinder length 380 mm, small head This seems like a shoepatcher with the smallest shuttle and is for shoe repair light work. I do not think this is the machine you need for that work. You should ask Bob Kovar (sewmun) about this machine he knows. But I think it is not possible to get parts for it, something about a factory bombed during the ww2. I dont know, but ask Sewmun (Bob Kovar knows) And he also sell used machines. If you want to by a shoe patcher buy a Singer 29K or a Adler class 30 with a big bobbin for about the same price. You can still buy all the part you need for them. And you need spare parts for old sewingmachines! Ask sewmun or you may find some info in the forum about this machine to. Hope this was a little help. Trox quote name='rgerbitz' timestamp='1286666165' post='170012'] This machine is for sale for $200 near me. I am wondering wether or not it would work for sewing leather for bridles, breast collars, and such. Thank you, Rob

Hello Rob! Do you have a picture of it? Trox
