The Adler 30-7 is from their older class of shoe patchers. It is long arm, big bobbin, hi lift shoe patcher. It uses a longer system of needle than the 30-1. That system is 332lg Some parts are still available for the machine but Adler quit making alot of the parts for the machine after they came out with the new versions-30-10, 30-50 and the 30-70 which replaced the 30-7. I have a lot of parts for those earlier machines that are no longer available including early manuals and parts list. Let me know if i can help you.

I work and rebuild these machines. You can contact me with yoru questions.shoepatcher

Art, this is a Singer UFA which stood for Universal Feed Arm, the original name for the shoe patcher. Singer began building these machines in 1883. In 1896, the changed the name of the machine to a 29 class as they did with most machines. They went from names to numbers for the machines and subclasses. Your's is a UFA and it uses the same bobbins , needles and hook as any 29 class. Yours even has the old style bobbin winder. Hope that helps.
