I am doing a little dance. Why? Well I found out today that my local saddle maker is selling a Durkopp Adler 205/370 or 374 that he has in his workshop, complete with an Efka Variostop motor/control system.The machine is likely to be well used,but not necessarily knackered. I get to find out the price on Thursday, when the owner will be "in".The previous one was around 1800 euros, sold last week.I suspect he is getting new machines, and the old ones will have long become "scrap price" from an accountancy point of view. I just have to make sure what I am buying is not real scrap, as Adler parts prices can be steeeeeeeeep! As it is a production machine, there is also air operated this and that.Not all of it works, but I will have to take those bits off (I really do not want to hear my compressor all the time), and replace them with original items. The motor may be 3 phase- it looked a lot bigger than any single phase one I have had- sort of bullet shaped.I suspect from pictures I have seen, the Efka is used with a clutch motor.. The manual states that the recommended Efka unit is either a type 9B 31, or an 8E 521. I found some details on the 8E 521. It has a pneumatic backtack console parked on top of the machine head. The Efka looks awful complicated- how useful/what can you do with it, assuming the system is quite old- no computer shaped boxes like the new ones. Underneath the machine table was a great jumble of boxes, air operation stuff, and wiring. Efka will be completely new to me. The 205 head is painted grey (any idea of year/s of manufacture?), and has a black end piece, with no cover for the arm that has thread going throughon its end. I noticed that the stitch length lever did not stay up when put in reverse, but I wondered if this had been disabled in some way for the air back tacking. Are there any particular checks pertaining to this specific model that I need to do? I have noticed comments on costing for a new bobbin case, plus checking for needle bar wobble and availability of the different needle size spacers pointed out in UWE's Youtube video. It is of course, already set up to sew a reasonably thick leather, so I can take some samples of what I use with me. I have the room and the time to play with this one, if the price is right.

in very good shape !!!!
