White ones are newer. Ferdco used Juki 441 to build the Pro 2000. You can also contact Hoffman Brothers in Chicago. They sell the Pro 2000 and bought everything from Ferdco when they closed. You trying to get them going? The heads have parts missing but look pretty good. These machines not cheap so getting them back up and sewing would be advantages money wise. People looking for them. I see at least 4 of them there. The high lift version could sew 1 3/16" if i remember. glenn

Juki should still make the parts. Contact MJ Foley in Detroit. They are the Master Distributor for Juki in North America. glenn

Contact Siska in NJ. They rebuild all types of eyelet, rivet, grommet machines and make dies. I have had them make a few for me. glenn

Not stitching the soles correct ? glenn

call Cobra and talk to Steve. glenn

Check hook for burrs. Make sure the the pressure on the thinner materials is a little more. Keeps leather from coming up. Also check that hook is as close as you can get it to the needle without touching it! Check timing as well. glenn

Unmodified 9/16". Modified 1". glenn

taps are cheap on google. Found one for $9.95 plus shipping glenn

pic of the machine? glenn

Look at both Consew and Seiko machines, this looks more like Consew 206RB-1 because of the stitch and reverse lever. Parts still available. Where are you located? I would buy it. glenn

cheap price. buy it. It can be rebuilt. parts are available. Big bobbin long arm most desired of shoe patchers. glenn

They stripped it for parts. Do not Junk! It can be rebuilt because you can get the parts. The Seiko model was the STH-8BLD-3, Consew would be 206RB-1,or 2. Seiko made these machines. You need to find a parts book and operations manual. This may be a clone but can Consew or Seiko parts will work. glenn

Max. stitch length 6mm max ft. lift 7mm needle system 134 sizes 80-140 depending on which one you have. glenn

Uwe was correct. It is either a 268-262 or 268-263. Only difference is the size of the needle it takes. 62 takes 80-110, 63 uses 110-140. glenn

Call Reliable in Canada. should be able to help you. glenn

Send more pics of the feet and needle area. I like Uwe have Adler brochures but I have more of them. Looks like bottom needle feed machine. glenn

Patrick what parts you making for the 205 Adler? glenn

Video of it sewing please. glenn

You will not have any trouble selling the 669. The demand is high for that machine especially used. Glenn

Eric, Good to have you back!! Where were you all these years? We both need and missed you!! glenn

damn!!!!!!! glenn

contact me. I will tell you how i set them up. Different than Uwe. glenn

Unusual for Hirose to be off! Make very good aftermarket hooks. glenn

The 205-64 used the needle system 328 or 214x1. It would sew 1/2" leather all day long but not very good for climbing over splies or seams. I have a 205-370 with toys. No comparison. The 441 came out before the 205. Both great machines. If sewing one thickness be in multiple layers, the 205-64 was great. You get into uneven layers, no. The Singer 97-10 or Ferdco Bull were jump feet and great machines. Leather sewing machines is dictated by what you are sewing. glenn.

Get rid of those blanket feet. Other feed are better and available. I have no idea why Nakajima and then Jukie made these blanket feet. Only good for certain items and they are so damn big. Kwok Hing makes generic binder feet for the 205. glenn
