EastIDBruin Report post Posted April 24 I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a Durkopp Adler 669 but have some setup questions. For starters, does anyone know if the Classic Silverline or Goldline can be purchased or modified with a speed reducer? If not, I would definitely opt for the ECO version. I just like the idea of having a pneumatic foot lift. Can the pneumatic foot lift and LED lights be added to an ECO? Also, is there anything I need to consider if I want to sew bindings? Thank you.

shoepatcher Report post Posted April 27 (edited) ok I have a 669eco. The 669 is the best machine in its class in the world. Only Seiko makes a copy of it and it is not as good for about the same price. i can tell you who has the best price on it. You can add a air foot lift to the 669 eco. I have done it and I can walk you thru setting it up. You can use a speed reducer on a 669 eco with a servo motor but cannot add needle positioner because the speed reducer screws with the needle positioner sensors. You can add LED lights to it. I have 2 different lights on the machine. You can sewing bindings with the machine but that means new feet, throat plate and feed dog plus the binder. You can make it a symmetrical feed binder. contact me. glenn Edited April 27 by shoepatcher grammar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
