Advice on Singer 34K11 or Adler 5-6

[DonInReno]

As with anything used, if this machine isn’t just what you’re looking for, there will always be another better deal next week or next month.  Be careful of buying a machine that doesn’t work for $350 that you can’t get parts for.    My personal rule of thumb is it’s only worth half as much if the seller can’t demonstrate it sewing correctly, than if it sews perfectly - maybe it’s an easy fix, maybe it will never sew right.

Having said that, it’s a cool machine and if it’s in the budget I’d grab it and keep looking for another.

Here is some picture of the tension unit. Does it look complete? Also, could you send the manual. I did send you a DM
