Just thought I should introduce myself. My name is Steve, and I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. My wife picked up an Adler 30-7 a couple weeks ago from her sisters husband. It was a bit stiff and lacking a few parts. I've been going thru it, and have it turning quite nicely now. As far as parts it was missing the leaf spring and sliding block. Also missing was the bobbin winding tire, the bobbin, the needle and the belt. The shuttlehook also looks a bit iffy, with the hook point broken off. So I have located parts all over the world and have parts on the way, so for now it's a waiting game. The leaf spring assembly is coming from Poland, so that part wins awards for traveling the furthest.
The machine came with a Singer cast iron stand, so the machine doesn't fit on the stand very well. I've designed up an adapter to make the two mate up, but got to thinking that maybe someone on here has a Singer machine and an Adler stand. In which case they may like to work out a stand swap. So let me know if you fit in that category.
Meanwhile I have come across a very nice trouble-shooting guide from Shoe Systems Plus that has come in very handy for going thru the machine. That along with all the information I've learned from the forum's on here has the machine looking pretty good. I'm looking forward to getting enough parts to see how the machine performs. I'm not entirely sure what the wife's intentions are for the machine, but I have a few ideas of my own.
More to come...........Steve
