Anyone know the difference between Adler 30-1 vs 30-10?

[Teradee]

I may have a chance to buy one of these, but didn’t know if one was a better machine than the other?

30-10 is the newer version of the 30-1. Technically there is no big difference. Both are small bobbin patcher machines with the same stitch length and foot lift. Spare parts are expensive.

parts available for 30-10.   not so much any more for 30-1.

thanks @Constabulary and @shoepatcher! 

Is there a patching machine you would recommend over one of these?  Are these and the 29K's a horse a piece?  Is there something out there that I'd be much happier with in a similar price range?

[shoepatcher]

The best machine out there is a Claes.  These are very expensive new.  Used ones are available but they start about $3,500.00 just so you know.  I would try to buy one of them.

Depends on your budget????? If you can afford a Claes you will need deep pockets. Example would be new from Landis International ( http://landisusa.com/us-en/claes-8346-20.html ) just the head will cost $5880 USD and the stand is another $1065 USD.

Then there are the Chinese Clones of the Singer 29K73 to list a couple Amazon for $1200 USD, Cowboy CB29BL for $2950 USD, Cobra Class 29-18 for $2995 USD
