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!

I have this exact machine ....even the same base!  Wondering if you bought it and, if so, can I get a copy of the manual?  I have had mine for 40 years...was a shoe repair person for 20.  Sadly, it has been sitting on my sunroom for 20 years and not used for 10.  It never needed repairs but now has some issues and I have forgotten how!  

Please respond directly to my email because I don't have a computer!
