Fair enough. I sold several of the Singer versions to people with Adler's and they were always happy with them but possibly the version I had was not quite true to the original

The equivalent part off a Chinese 7 style machine will fit (99.9%)

Don't forget that most Japanese and Chinese machines use the original Singer threads!!

I converted a couple to hand crank using the hand wheel off the Chinese 29K

Same roller foot as a Singer 45K GA5 etc

Sure, triple feed machines are best, but many a saddler learnt his craft on a 45K25. If you can get one with a roller foot even better - I hope to have roller feet available for these soon.

MO is the moccasin stitch version and not suitable for normal sewing. You will have to get the feet from an Adler dealer.

133 series is a cylinder bed 132

A lot of 7 series parts are common with Chinese machines so I used to sell them at pretty good prices

The machine pictured is a Chinese copy of the Singer 29K72 and some of the machines people direct import NEVER work so save money and just contact Cowboy Bob for a machine guaranteed to work with full support.

Ahhh grasshopper you have mastered the art of doing things that work despite what everyone else thinks

Sorry to hear that and I hope I didn’t offend anyone

Contact Cowboy Bob as there are two grades of Chinese 29k machines and one makes a great doorstop. Buy from Bob Kovar or Greg at Keystone and you will get one guaranteed to work

One of these will do the job at a reasonable cost

The ABLE290 is available again. I am now a full time caregiver for a disabled partner so it is just a sideline. The machines from China are much better in terms of paint ant chromed parts but still need most of the same modifications as five years ago to make them a viable sewing machine that won’t slice into your finger the first time you open the needle plate. Due to changes in US customs I doubt it is worth importing a $AU350 machine as it will get hit with the Chinese import duty.
