Hi Leathermans, may be there's someone out there who does have what I'm looking for desperately: I have got an old ADLER 167-373. Table, machine, belt and rest in actually good shape. The only bitter pill with it: The whole tension unit (the one we see in the pictures below) is missing! Is there any gentleman out there who has a used one in the shelf somewhere and will give it away for an acceptable amount of money? Would appreciate any offer! Thx and hope to hear from You guys soon.

Hi Leathermans, reading this thread, I thought, may be someone out there does have what I'm looking for desperately: I have got an old ADLER 167-373. Table, machine, belt and all in actually good shape. The only bitter pill with it: The whole tension plate (the ones we see in the pictures above) is missing! Is there any gentleman out there who has a used one in the shelf somewhere and will give it away for an acceptable amount of money? Would appreciate any offer! Thx and hope to hear from You guys soon.

Aaaaaah there it is....little sucker.....hidden on the other side deep in a hole !! Thank You so much, I think I need new glasses too !! ;)))))

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a partslist of a Pfaff 138-6. (As shown) Normally it's sort of explosion drawing, where You can work out how parts go togehter. Or any advise how to loosen the needle bar for adjustment would be great too. Would appreciate any help. Thank You all...

Dear Leather related Gentlemen ;)), I could lay my hands on a very goodlooking and functional lady, a beautyful and mint used ADLER 167-373 T. Did allready some research and I would think, that the T is standing for textiles, because leathermachines are often marked with L. Does anybody of You guys do own a ADLER T versions and what are your experiences? And: Could I do leather with it all day long ? Thanks in advance for Your kind help. Regards Roland

Hi leatherworkers, does anybody of You gentlemen around here has instructions for CB 4500 Servo motor ? Link or PDF would be greeeeaaaaat !!! ;)) Thank You. Kindest regards to the world of leather

Dear Leatherworkers, a few days ago I looked at a used DA 205-370, which is a cloned ADLER 205-370. It was offered on an online marketplace. Sadly, the way was far, the owner was a miserable character and salesman and the place a horrible run down building with tons of dirt, empty beer bottles and lots of smell. The machine was covered with nasty dust, the price too high and my fear great, to import this horrible smell of this ramschakle-hut into my workshop, which always smells nicely like leather So I decided quick to leave it behind and left the place quicker, than I arrived. Unbelievable, how some people live ?!! Later on I looked again at the differences between the 205 and 441 machines, but I can't make a decision. Both do the job very well for sure. What else are the differences, what do You like on the one, and what do You miss on the other ? Would appreciate Your opinion!! Keep Your needles always sharp ;)) Kindest regards

Dear Leatherman, I'm busy getting something new into my workshop and I'm stuck now a little bit. I learned, that Hightex offers 2 different types of TSC 441 small arm clones: - Hightex CB 3200, max foot lift 18mm, - and Hightex CB 3500, max foot lift 23mm, other technical top and bottom insides then CB 3200. Does anybody here has experience with this two different types of machines ? Thanks for Your help and keep allways Your needles sharp ;)))))) Foto by Frank Brunnet

Hi folks, have been busy looking around, to serve my problem and contacted also a pro for a hint ;)))) ! He send me a link for the adjustments of a Pfaff 545, which has about the same features as the ADLER does. Now what I finally did was, bringing the small pressure foot a few millimeters more down (look at picture, that can be adjusted by those two screws, when the needle touches the needleplate with feet up), which has the effect, that the bigger presser foot moves those millimeter higher in walking mode, the smaller then a bit lower. If brought into a usefull relation, all is fine and at WORKS finally very well ! ;)) Have a nice weekend all together ! !!!

Hi Michiel, thank You for the information, but this I went through already. This adjustment regulates the height of pressure foot when lifted with lifter. The movement while sewing is too low. So it must be adjusted along this movement.

Yes, thank You....that feature I know. But if I move the wing nut from bottom of the " banana" to its highest poition, not much happens to the hight of the presser foot. I need one step deeper into the materia.

Hi guys, have a new project with higher material. But the presser foot of my ADLER 167-73 is too low to handle the thickness. The specs out of the books say max foot lift 7mm, but I'm quiet away from those 7mm, means less (in fact 4,5-5mm). Anybody has a technical hint to fix that and reach at least the 7mill ? Thank You in advance.

Suppi...Danke !!!!

Dear fellows, I rescued a nice little machine called Pfaff 138 short before it went to the scrap yard. The special on this thing is, that it is driven by an 250 watts moretti motor, which sews like a bee flying over flowers, so smooth and nice, driven just by transport from below. With a dial in the middle of the top, a switch from straight to Zigzag sewing is possible. The only flaw I can find is, that the hook is missing some stitches, which could be solved quiet easily, if there wouldn't be that feature, that also twin needles can be plugged in. So I would like to do the timing by the books. Does any one of You guys own a SERVICE MANUAL for this machine ?? Thank You.

Puuh....my school english is too lousy to catch up in full what You wrote. Or is it Your PC ??;)) Can You say it in other words please ?
