Thanks so much for this information and help, thats good to know! I love this site, have read so much good info on here.

Hi, first time posting, don't know a whole lot about sewing machines other than what I've been able to google. I have a Mach 3 currently. I've been wanting to purchase a backup machine, and I've read alot of posts on here about Adler 30-1 vs 30-7 (and models in between). This is my conundrum: I was going to purchase a used Adler sewing machine, but the plate on the machine indicating the model seems to be gone. I really would like to know if anyone can tell if its the 30-1 or 30-7 from a photo? They are asking $1,600 (CDN) and just wanting to know, if its a 30-1 I don't think its worth it. As you can see from the photo, it has been mounted on a singer treadle stand. Any help would be so much appreciated!
