Which Adler Heavy Duty Flatbed..?

[TheMackinaw]

Hi folks, I hope you and yours are well.

I am interested in a heavy duty Adler flatbed machine. 

I have an Adler 105-064 and an Adler 069-373 (converted to a binder) but I want an Adler heavy flatbed to add to the collection that can handle 24oz canvas with Tkt20 thread / 140 needle.

Which would be the best mahcine for the job? 67, 68, 205? Or am I way off?

Many thanks

Thomas

For canvas an adler 67 , 167 or 267 will do

(best with subclass 373)

I once had an Adler 204-370 which could sew 3/4 inch with up to #346 thread. The head weighed about  125 to 150 pounds. It had warped the wooden table that came with it. It is a compound feed walking foot machine, identical to the 205-370 cylinder arm version, but a flatbed. This machine is out of production now. The equivalent is a Cowboy cb243. It is huge, just like that Adler!

What is the 'subclass 373' please?

Thanks

Adler 167 and 267 use a larger size bobbin that the 67.

It means it has the walking foot & needlefeed,as they also make machine this in a needlefeed only model.

Thank you all.

So -

67 needle feed / regular bobbin

167 needle feed / larger bobbin

167-373 walking foot / larger bobbin

 

Is that right?

 

Many thanks

Yes,the 67 is a small bobbin but any of these the 67,167,267 -373 are walking foot & needlefeed.
