Adler 269-373 capacities

[Icho]

I'm not sure if the capacity is the same between the 167 and 169 but on my 169 I was able to go thru about 10mm 1st attempt without making any adjustments. This is thinner thread than I would use ant pretty sure the needle was larger than it should have been and still did it like nothing was there.

Yep It's a very good machine. It's replacement, the 869 is even that much better.

how good this machine is for more delicate work? i know that with 669 you can sew very fine stitches (thin thread/needle). but 269 is the predecessor of 869. do you think i can get good results with fine threads (tex 90) with this machine?

i have a typical 441 which is great for heavy duty work. as the next machine i am planning to buy a 669 but i found an 269 in a very good condition and half the price of 669 brand new. i was wondering if 269 would be a good complementary machine for typical 441 or they are in the same league.
