  1. Hi,

    It is a very heavy machine, suitable for horse harnasses aso. I don't think it's suitable for holsters, because you don't have room to turn your leather. If you are making belt,  straps aso this could be a good machine. For restoration purposes I think the price is to much. Spare parts are hard to find, maybe in Germany, maybe Adler themselves.

    Good luck

  2. Hello,

    I had one and was able to sew with a 160 needle. The system for the needle is 134-35. The machine can handle  medium weight leather.  If you sew with the 160 needle you must take a smaller bobbin thread, otherwise it won't sew correct. I always used a straight point but better is to take a cutting pointer,  either LR or S point. If you want to sew ticker leather like shoulder aso. I advise you to buy, If possibly,  a somewhat heavyer machine. All in one I was quit happy with but was able to buy a Adler 269-373, which is able so sew a bit ticker leather.

    Yours,

    Bert
