Adler 069-373 Bech Restoration

[TheMackinaw]

Hi folks,

I hope everyone is well.

I recently put out a few questions to you re. purchasing an Adler 069-373 - thanks again for your help and patience - well I went ahead and bought one and thought I would share the results with you. 

I rebuilt the table in 40mm ply (just over 1 1/2") , stained the top, re-fit the head, fit the new 1hp servo motor, added a leather belt, fit the knee lever, fit the lamp, fit the thread holder and finally the draw (not in the pics).

Still a bit of work to do - new EDL machine lamp decal and to eventually convert this beautiful machine to a binder - curtesy of KHSew. Will post about that upgrade too. I may build a wooden flat bed for it also..

I really enjoy working on these old machines, I did my Adler 105 and it looks just as good as this on it;s original heavy duty stand.

Better photographs of the build here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjA3Xed

Thanks for looking, keep up the good work

That looks awesome.  I just got same machine and needing to get all the binding items.  On your other post was it the four items that Uwe Posted that you needed or can you share what KHSew stuff you purchased?  I have bought from them before for my Seiko.
