Adler 267 GK-373 information

[RobsRestitchEM]

Hi everyone, I have just purchased an second hand Adler 267 GK-373, also just had it serviced. BUT can someone show me how to thread up the bobbin winder wheel, the thread keeps coming out between the two silver pieces. Would greatly appreciate some help please, ThankyouRobyn

Hi, 

I own a 269-373 and was experiencing the same issue, so I'm going to assume they have the same bobbin winder assembly. 

The solution I came up with is to wind the thread around the threaded base of the tension assembly, then pass it through the first hole that leads it between the tensioning plates. This is probably an unorthodox way of going about the issue, so someone may chime in with a proper solution, but it's worked for me so far, give it a go. 

Regards, Apostolos

I had a similar problem on my 69-373. Solved it by threading around the tensioner in the opposite direction so that the thread travels +/- 400 degrees (slightly more than a full turn) instead of +/- 300 degrees (less than a full turn).
