Anybody know where you can get a 45-50mm pulley for a digital Reliable servo motor. I think the shaft diameter is 12mm. This is the motor that is dark grey with an orange plate where the digital readout it. Thanks in advance. Glenn

The feed cam is off. That machine should sew about a 7-8mm stitch length. glenn

Contact CH Holderby in Seattle. I think they can help you. glenn

I always check the reverse stitching to make sure timing is on. You should be able to sew 12 stitches in reverse without any problems. I do this if I have to retime an Adler 205. If it stitches fine in forward, I always stitch 12 stitches in reverse. If all is good in those 12 stitches, great. If not, more work is needed. glenn

Where are you located? glenn

CD, Contact Allen at Weaver, ext. 180. He is in on Monday and Tuesday. glenn

I would buy the Pfaff if it was me. All 3 use the same bobbin size a "G" which is small. The 145 should sew 207 on top. The Consew and singer will not. That being said, none of these will sew into the #277 and above. If that is what you want, look at the Cowboy or Techsew heavy duty cylinder arm machines.

Constabulary, F, I got one that is 50 inches long, use it in woodworking especially on sheets of plywood. glenn

Cowboy and Cobra are good machines. Thor, not so sure. I had a service man up here in Michigan work on a new Thor and the main shaft holes were drilled crooked meaning it should never have got out of the plant that way. That said, you do what you have to do but you will regret not sewing on a machine before you buy it. Just my opinion. glenn

Starwind0, I would take samples of what you want to sew and go see Alexander at Solar Leather in Dallas. Yah, it takes a lot of time and some expense to travel to see him but you will get a chance to see what they have and more importantly, sew on them.. After all, this is not going to be a $20.00 purchase. That will probably answer a lot of your questions. If you are ready to buy, take money with you and bring it back with you to save the shipping. I drove 800 miles one way to pick up a long arm Adler last summer. It was a 2 day drip and cost me $400.00 in gas, food and lodging. However, I got a long arm Adler 767FA273 double needle stretched to 30"with all the toys for $750.00. That machine was over $12,000.00 new. Yes, it has to be rebuilt but I have it in my shop with the table , and all and the Efka motor is single phase! For the money you are going to spend, go see and sew on it. You don't buy a car without test driving it! glenn

Yes, the bronze and black color were made in the 1980's and early 1990's. I had one like this. great machine. The earliest Pfaff's were all black with gold lettering, then bronze and black, then honey and brown. New ones are Ergonomic white and light grey accents. glenn ,

Machine not threaded correctly. On the tension discs, do not go around the little pin. That pin is for locating the tension discs in the correct spot. glenn

The Juki 2810 is a copy of the Durkopp/Adler 867. glenn

I think you might be able to construct something like it for $200.00. I would ask some one to send you specs of one they have on their machine. This is an obsolete machine but a lot of guys still use them. One the finest machines Singer ever built. I had one. glenn

cdthayer, Contact Allen at Weaver. They have genuine Adler parts as well as the clone parts for the 205 Clone. He can help. glenn

Take bobbin case out of machine. What you see is shuttle carrier which is what the bobbin case rests in. Grab the shuttle carrier with your fingers and see how much you can turn it or wiggle it without machine running. Anything over 1/8" means there is wear in the shuffler carrier gears, racks and pinions. It is on a Sutton stand that had a jack shaft as a speed reducer and a regular motor. If you get it, remove all that stuff and put a speed reducer and servo in. Much easier to control the speed. Bob Kovar has needles for the machine. This machine will use Singer bib bobbin hooks and bobbins. Keep us posted. glenn

Generic feet are available for the 67, 167, 69, 169, 267 machines. All used they same feet. What kind of feet are you looking for? Kwok Hing in China makes several types of feet for this series of machine. glenn

Try Alberoni's in southern California. There was a dealer in Oregon. glenn

You cannot pull thread out from the hook area until the take up lever is at it's highest point. That is when it free from the hook. That is also when you want to lift the foot and pull your work out. glenn

New clamp from Adler is $127.00 and change. glenn

M means safety clutch, L is for leather, C is class see so medium heavyweight components, P means 4 motion drop feed, N 6mm max. stitch length glenn

Yes. You might consider Hoffman Brothers in Chicago since they are closer to you. Not on the list of dealers here that sell machines on this board. They now are the people that make and service the Pro 2000 which is based on a Juki 441 head. I would at least call them. glenn

It will be nice when cleaned up. You got your work cut out. Take lots of pics when disassembling it. glenn

Sounds like the feed eccentric is 180 degrees out. No timing marks underneath a 1245. Can you upload a quick video of the machine being turned by hand so we can see the feet and feed dog in action? glenn
