Good luck. Contact Robert Collier at Collier Equipment in Alabama. glenn

It would be. The 969 is one of the heaviest machines made! The dealer did not know what he was doing!!! What was he thinking??? The 869 much better for your application. glenn

Set stitch length to 0 before you time it. glenn

You have a patent elastic machine. This became the Claes. I will check to see if i have any. I think you have either the small or medium bobbin. Give me a day or 2 to research it. You are located where? glenn

Yes it is. The Singer 153 was out first. glenn

Do not need the screw that I have ever found. Just the plug. glenn

Yes it was. glenn

Consew 227 parts are copies of Singer 153 parts. Should be interchangeable. glenn

Patent Elastic was the early name for the Claes I believe. They started in 1869. There have been about 15 plus manufactured of the shoepatcher with the early design like you see in front of you. Singer came out with a shoepatcher in 1877 and their design was new and unique. Adler came out with the 30 class in 1900 which was a copy of the UFA/ 29 class. Adler had an earlier design like the old shoepatchers which was a 29 class. I have one. Bradbury had a few shoepatcher designs starting in 1872. glenn

needle two small for 138 thread, Go to a 140/#22. glenn

First question. Is safety clutch disengaged? If not, it is out of time and you must time each hook separately. glenn

The end cam is worn. Replace it to take out the play. glenn

You need DA part #0667105100 which is the stud for synchronizer. Remove plastic plug and tap the stud in place. This is what the synchronizer mounts on. glenn

You have lots of parts. Need a servo motor for it. Does the engraved line on the front of the base say 8345-6 or 8346-6? It has an early Claes cast iron stand almost like the Pfaff Metro Spezial that was a Claes in everything but name. Claes sold machines to Pfaff that Pfaff out their name on it. What questions do you have on the machine? glenn

I have all the manuals for 30-1,5,7,15,10,50,70. Parts list, operations manuals, mechanics manual, extras info. Cost is $15.00 plus shipping. glenn

I prefer While stainless sewing machine oil. Does not stain. glenn

Try contacting Hoffman Brothers in Chicago area. glenn

Ok here is one thing that most people do not know about and Adler. The needle bar height is adjustable. You have to have the height set correctly even before you time the machine . If the height is wrong, machine will never sew correctly. Contact me and I can walk you thru the adjustment. glenn

Something does not seem correct on this machine. Plate says it is a 30-7 but it looks like a short arm. Can I get more pics of the machine. glenn

Your Adler is a 1950's , 1960's machine. It is a big bobbin high lift machine. It uses needle system 332LG and 332LL LG. first is round point, second is leather point. What people do not know is Adler shoepatcher can get out of time as far as the needle bar goes.. If you want to install a servo motor on it, I can walk you thru how to do it. Been working with shoe patchers of various makes and models for over 40 years. Let me know.

using right or left twist? glenn

Safety clutch out? glenn

The U series of 29 machines were made in Japan in late 1970's early 1980's.
