Dear Leatherworker, I've got an old ADLER 67 from some people, who don't wanted to throw it on the scrap and so it's spending its last years in my shop. It's black, it's beautiful but I don't really know what to do with it, but I can't waste it. It's very well functioning, very smooth and brimming with good old technology for longterm first class service. Just a few parts are missing, those are the thread tension screw (Adler part nr. 992 00 863 7) and the tension spring (Adler part nr.099 00 480)! I tried to get hold of those but there are no offers! Another guy told me those screws are the same as from PFAFF ?, another one sells it from England for 30 Pounds per unit! Does anybody has some laying around or does someone know what screwthread is cut into those originals tension screws from Adler? Thanks in advance! from Adler?

Hi there, first I like to thank You all for the awful lot of information. :))) I am busy a bit with leather and I like doing belts. Now I saw one belt with leather lining, which I like very much. The lining is glued in and the belt is sewed together later on. I have been asking some guys already, but there was no clear answer. What glue should I take for this work? What is Your opinion ? The white one rubber water based glue or should it be leather zement ? I thought, due to wearing the belt, a flexible glue would be great, but maybe You have a better idea ? Thank You for every hint ! Kind regards Roland
