The 69-73E does not have 4 motion drop feed. Rather it is skip feed that they use in binding. It still should make a 4.5-5.mm max. stitch length. Is the fed dog coming anywhere close to end of the the feed dog slot in both back and front of the needle plate? give us a short video or pics please. glenn

Adler should have a mechanics manual for that machine. See if you can get one. The movable knife in the Adler 291/295 series is the one they copied when they designed the current M series that is the 867, 868, 869 machines. It is different than the one in the 467/767 machines. I could help you there. You should have parts list, operations manual and mechanics manual for that machine. it tells yo how to adjust and replace the trimming knife. glenn

Cutting knife might be dull and have to be replaced. Usually it is the fixed knife. You need to get manuals on the motor. It will have the perimeters which tells you how to reactivate the buttons You can also contact Efka America in Georgia and ask to speak to Mike. He is the expert on these motors. Have the model number of the control box, motor when you call him. He has helped me in the past. glenn

the 135 x 17 or 16 for leather is the same specs as a 332 needle system or 29x3, 4. More common and comes in titanium coating. send me an email and i can send you pics. glenn

To all the members, I just saw a video on the new Consew 2206-14-7 sewing machine . It looks like a new machine based off the Consew 206. This one has direct drive with functions, 8mm max stitch length and get this, 14" of work space. I have seen them for sale from $1799.00 to $1995.00. Looks like a winner. Anybody have one or sewn on one??? glenn

Machine made in the 50's and early 60's as Constablulary said . I have the parts list for a 30-15. It has a 14.5" arm compared to a 12" arm on a Singer short arm. It would probably fit on a singer short arm treadle. I prefer to put them on a modern off the arm table with a servo and speed reducer. I have 2 treadle Adler tables for yours but I also 2 30-15 machines to rebuild that goes on these tables. Definitely put the wheel on the front. I also have 30-1,5,7 15 operations manuals. You can use 135x17 or x16 needles on this machine. contact me and I can help you. the one thing you may need is a bobbin winder reel holder which is what Adler calls the tension rig for winding a bobbin. I have these new and complete. glenn

Consew instuction manual or parts list. parts list on Consew site. You would be looking for info on a Consew 206RB or RB-1. glenn

Should be an Adler 167 flatbed walking foot machine with a trim knife on it. Rare! You sew and it trims the item you are sewing by a specific trim margin. glenn

Using too small a needle for #92 thread. glenn

I have seen guys sew with a leather or plastic wedge behind the foot as the foots going from thick layers down to thin layers. It works. glenn

Buy the 111W101. Heavier sewing machine. glenn

contact Landis in Canada. They might be able to help you. glenn

I do not think it is a Singer. On Singer stand. glenn

Any more pics available?

oil the whole up good and then let see where you are. glenn

So either a #10 or #20. Chances are it is a #20 which is medium bobbin. great machines! get a bobbin so we can see which it is. glenn

Spray the entire bottom of the machine with penetrating oil and let it set for a couple of days. glenn

SB Newton, The Bradbury company went out of business in 1923. Hooks are as rare as hens' teeth. I have 6 machines to rebuild and plan to have the hooks made on a 3D metal printer. Best info I can give you at the moment. glenn

JJN, As Constabulary stated, it is a Claes made for Pfaff. It is a Claes 8346. Looks like it was a honey colored that Pfaff used in the late 1980's. This machine has been repainted. Best patchers in the world, bar none. Buy it. Check to see if there is an embossed needle number on the black arm cover. It will state either Needle system 81 or 88. That narrows it down as to subclass. glenn

Schmetz to my knowledge moved their production from Germany to India. GB were producing needles in Vietnam as was Organ. glenn

Spray needle with silicon spray. Will make the adhesive not stick to the needle. glenn

Not sure what the 305 subclass. C class, M is for leather safety clutch, P is for 4 motion drop feed, N normally means 6mm stitch length. but this has a -05 on it. glenn

Kwok Hing in China makes a few feet for it. Not sure if they make anything else. Only other source is Durkopp Adler. glenn

Great. That part not easy to find!!! glenn
