Leatherbag

Ah ok, you mean this dark bronze thing, right (its not my machine on the pic)? I guess thats not the problem because the sound is also there when I remove this thing and push the pen in it by hand...

Ok thank you. I thought that too but even if I sew completely without presser bar, the excenter moves slightly to its sides. But maybe thats normal because it needs the bar to stay in position? I could order a new bar for about 50 euros, so maybe its worth to try that.. With tube - do you mean the presser foot bar? How did you find this loose spot? With presser tension tube you mean the presser foot bar? And how did you get away with it? Which 23 second video do you mean? Can you post the link please?

Hi Paloma, thank you very much! Can you tell me if the excenter moves also to the sides at yours? At mine, it moves very slightly and the silver joint also moves. Dont know it that has something to do with the noise or if this slight movement is just normal? That would help me a lot!

Thank you very much! I cant figure out which part could be loose. When I check by hand, everything is very tight, but somehow as soon as the excenter moves up and down something pushes or pulls it out of position. Maybe its the silver joint because it also moves a little bit. But I cant figure out how to check that safely. I am pretty afraid that its something that can not be repaired :/ Thank you very much! Do you mean this part on the machine itself (please see photo)? I just polished that area very slightly because I thought that the bar would rub on the machine, but I am pretty sure it does not. Or do you meant something else? So I'd really appreciate any more hints what to check....

Hello, still looking for a fix for this weird sound. Does anyone (maybe someone with an Adler 69-373) know, if its normal that the gray part (I marked it orange in my previous post) moves a bit to the sides while going up and down? Please find a video here: https://vimeo.com/350731298 I think that somehow this gray excenter is pulled or pushed by something else out of its position but I cant figure it out. It would help me a lot if someone with an Adler 69 (or a similar 67) could have a look at my latest videos (https://vimeo.com/user98044619) in order to tell me if there are some unnormal movements that could cause the sound. Of course I can comment on the videos if you need more info. Thank you very much in advance, best wishes from Germany!

Hi, thank you. I already checked that, but the sound comes from the upper part and has something to do with the parts that move when the presser foot goes up and down. I marked the area of which I think that there is the source of the sound. If I turn the handwheel and come to the point when the presser foot is lifted, it gets pretty hard to turn it and the sound starts.

Hello everyone, about 3 months ago, I purchased an Adler 69-373, which looks like new and it seems that it was almost never used before. It came with a clutch motor which I changed to a servo motor. Now that the silent motor is build in, I hear that it makes an awful sound when the presser foot moves, please find here a video: https://vimeo.com/350508735 I oiled everything and removed some parts of which I believed they could cause the sound, but I still could not find a solution. By now, I think that the sound is caused either by a bent presser foot bar (which optically looks perfectly straight though) or the general lifting force. It definitely comes from the movement of the presser foot - when the presser foot is not moved, but the upper feed and the needle move, the sound is not there. In the service manual (see attached picture), I found a part that seemed to fit perfectly my problem (it says that roller 4 must lie tight on the sliding piece 5 in order to prevent a kind of growling sound when the presser foot moves), but no matter how I position the sliding piece, the sound is still there. Now I am afraid that the whole construction or the cast body is somehow distorted and that leaves me pretty frustrated - finally having such a beautiful machine that makes this awful sound and I cant find a solution for 5 full days So I really hope that you guys can help me and Ms. Adler
