    i took a better look to your photos: your cam is better than de photos i used till now This really helps, thanks again for your efford!

    Thank you John, this will help improving my self made cam kind regards michiel ps: for who is interested : my machine has the 6 mm stitch but i figured out with a new cam and some small adjustments it should be possible to make 12 mm with 2 or 3 step stitches (i need to replace the feed dogs, needle plate and foot but they are not so expensive since global makes them)

    Thank you this is not from the 167 service manual (but i think it was mentioned in other manuals) i do it often after hooktiming (and check the other adjustments from the manual after it) i think its not a bad idea for other brand triple transport machines too and wondered if more people do it that way…

    Part 69 is excentric you can turn it by a special tool (64) or you use two nails….

    The forward and reverse handle mechanisme has an hidden way to adjust forward en reverse stitching it is only in de 169service manual but its the same on 67 167 69 etc i did only find a version in german https://www.duerkopp-adler.com/commons/download/download-text-attachments/Vintage_Manuals_Adler/Serviceanleitung_169_DE.pdf its on page 18-19

    067 16 001 3 is the excentric you need to turn a litle

    Hi andru, I have the same machine (more than one) i think you should adjust the excentric on the (top) mainshaft. what i usual do is put the needle an the hook in the postion that the hook just is about to pick up the thread and than move the reverse handle if the needle bar moves i adjust the excentric so that the needlebar does not move when going up and down with the revesre handle good thing is : the timing in reverse is now the same as in sewing forward the better thing is, with most of my machines the forward and reverse are more or less the same. fine tuning is possible with an excentric on the front side (but its rare you need to do that) but first of all best is to follow the service manual step by step. Did you find the service manual on internet? kind regards, michiel

    Thanks, i realised they are a good candidate for 3D printing i think i should be able to draw them in a cad program

    Hi John, thanks for your reply that would be verry kind… regards, michiel

    Hello John, Do you know where the 3-stitch zig-zag cam came from? its hard to find one, Do you still have it and is there a change you would be so kind to make a scan or something for me (so i can make one myself) kind regards, michiel

    As far as i know the bobins of my pfaff 138 fit in my adler 69
  18. Michiel
  19. Michiel
    Or post a picture of your hook/bobbin
  20. Michiel
    Thread size 20 shouldnot be a problem for your machine make some stitches by hand on a smal strip of leather without the lid right of the neelde (so you can see the upperthread pass the bobin) my gues is ther is too less space for the tread to pass the underside of the needle plate maybe the bobbincase lifter is not adjusted for bigger thead (or it is missing at all)

    I mean the trhread guide pin:
  22. Michiel
    When i thread a machine i usualy take one or two turns trough / around the thread pin on top of the machine most of the times i do not see much difference in the way i make the turns. but with some thread, when it starts to un-twist in the needle it helps to make turns the right way (in one direction it will make the thread loser and in the other way more thight) this works for me….
  23. Michiel
    When i buy an used machine i always try to get an service manual and follow all the steps in it (Even if it seems to make normal stitches)
  24. Michiel
    Have you seen this video? (and some other ones on his channel)
  25. Michiel
    I do have an service manual but its too big to upload for me if you sent me an DM iwill mail it to you regards, michiel
