Hi, I recently got the chance to receive a Adler 30 series patcher machine. As it is still driven by foot or hand I would like to install a servo motor on it. Did anybody here already did this modification? I am looking for pictures and info on size of pulleys and stuff. thanks already Manu

Schmetz needle for thread '20' thick
tafspeed replied to tafspeed's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I found 120 needles from Schmetz (bought them online from a guy selling all kinds of needles)marked: CANU: 20:05 1 NM:120 SIZE:19 134 (R) 135x5 DBx1 DPx5 These needles are +/-5mm shorter than the ones I am using so I will have to change the timing of the machine, no? Now I am using: CANU32:10X1 NM:130 SIZE:21 134-35 LR DPx35 LR What do all these numbers mean? I am getting lost in needle hell. -
Schmetz needle for thread '20' thick

I will mainly stitch leather and vinyl. I recent purchased a Durkopp 239-125 after a couple of years of handsewing leather. So I am a novice :-). -
Schmetz needle for thread '20' thick
tafspeed replied to tafspeed's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Thanks guys, I will study this chart for a bit :-). All confusing these numbers. And then I still need to find a correct needle point..... -
As the title says, I'm looking for the correct type of Schmetz needles for thread of 20 thickness. I live in Belgium so need metric sizes. Can anyone help me out? regards Manu
-
Thanks for the video, that will be very helpful. regards Manu

Got that one but no info on the timing in it.

This is the link to the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/461606/Duerkopp-Adler-238.html?page=6#manual . The previous one is the link to the parts list.

I can't attach the manual here because it is more than 1.46MB but this is the link to it: http://www.duerkopp-adler.com/commons/download/download-text-attachments/Vintage_Parts_Books_Duerkopp/239.pdf You'll find a pic of the machine attached.

Indeed, sorry, it's a 239. Can I still change the title of this topic? Edit: Title fixed

Dear All, I am new in sewing leather with a machine after a couple of years of handsewing leather. I recently purchased a Durkopp 239 125 machine and am looking for a manual to time the machine perfectly. I've found a 'general' manual but with no info on timing the machine. All info, manuals, pictures on how to..for this type of machine are welcome. I live in Belgium and there is not much to find on this side of the world. I am also looking for a supplier for thread and needles in Belgium, should there be other Belgians on this forum :-). thanks regards Manu

If don't know exactly the hours but I made it in about two weeks, I have a day time job that is very time consuming so I only have time in the evenings and a bit in the weekends (have to give some time to my motorcycles also :-) ) The lining is yellow coloured pigskin.
