help from the masters..... Is the machine fixable?
Michiel replied to MattiJoy2's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I have seen adlers with a crack that stil worked. (For a long time) i would like to see a picture, but in generall i think: “if its not broken, don’t fix it” (if you have someone who thinks he can weld it, you might consider to buy it and start using it) -
Just a guess: Have you tried pushing the button you use to set the stitch length?
-
Did you see this recent thread? Is contains find the service manual This looks fine to me
-
According to the manual they are both for foot pressure. i think the small one is ment for fine tuning
-
Searching for an odd machine oil. Assistance.
Michiel replied to HondoMan's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
If it is sold as sewing machine oil your machine will be fine -
I hope I am clear enough my (technical) English is not good
-
Here you find the partbooks https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/parts-books/durkopp-adler-sewing-machine-parts-books.html but i think you have a change your barrel hook race is threaded on the backside and you can make your adjustment by making turns anti clockwise
-
I might be wrong but i think i have had a 166 where one can turn the race for the barrelhook to move it front and backwards you could try that….
-
I think i had some help from the service manual for the adler 366 when I worked on my adler 166
-
Hook setup is the same as adler 205-102 adler 266 and adler 366 (Part 266 15 on this one) I think the hookdriver act as an needle guard
-
If I remember correctly, the distance is set with shims
-
Some older machines had their outer presserfoot moving back by the force of a spring
-
Turns out its an german language only version (I am sorry) But You might be able to translate it online if you sent a pm with your email adres i can sent it by email (i think i do have a service manual for the adler 167 in english, you might be able to use that as well)
-
I do have a service manual (it did help me with my 169) maybe a moderator can help me to post it because its bigger than 1.46 mb
-
In your OP You asked for needle-feed. i doubt if these machines have needle feed. i might be wrong but I don’nt think i have ever seen the combination jump foot (with a spring) and needle feed….
