Does anyone know what machine this is ?

 

Are spares available ?

Looks like an Adler 199 Zig Zag garment / tailoring machine. Do not expect to find many parts. Machine is using a timing belt. If its bad or missing you are most likely screwed (if it doesn`t share the timing belt with other models but I don´t know). If you have pleasure in tinkering I would probably buy if for 30-50 bucks. Looks like hinges, V-Belt and bobbin winder are missing (if not inside the drawer). Maybe you can use the table and thread stand for another machine - just depends...

I have a manual in German langue if it helps. Send me a PM with email address so I can send it.

I must apologise for taking literally years to reply.

 

I did not keep a good lookout for replies, and somehow, despite checking for replies, yours was only spotted now using a phone with AI.

 

I have the belt, it works and so does the clutch !!!!!

 

I have painted it up a bit but need assistance to get all the parts fitted that go under the table. Bobins are there but a little tarnished. I just wish I could find someone local who could guide me.

I tried to post an updated picture but the site won't allow it.

It took 30 minutes or so to get past the security screens, the ability to click on an item did not work. I recall the other time I used the site I had similar problems. I got there in the end though.

here is the German language "technical manual" - hope it helps:

You need to reduce the file size.  800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate.  It fills the screen.

I moved your thread (posts) to Leather Sewing Machines.
