Trying to give some TLC to an Adler 30-7

[Hellboy]

Hello all! 
I'm new to the forum so I'm hoping I'm doing this correctly.

I recently found an amazing deal on an  Adler 30-7, the only caveat is that it needs a lot of TLC, which I'm happy to offer. 
That said, I did not realize how little information is out there on the Adler. (Well...that I could find anyway!)
Does anyone have extra info? Manuals? Website for parts if needed? How tos? 
If anyone has a personal SOP for this machine, i'd be happy to use it! I appreciate all the help.
Thank you again

This is what I have, manual-wise. You'll have to figure out the rest of the story. Or, ask a specific question pertaining to its operation.

OK!! A little update and I'm really excited.
So big thank you Mr. Wiz! I printed the documents you sent and they were very helpful! After cleaning my machine and tinkering with it, it actually works!!! My mind in blown and I'm excited. So far, I only needed to get the thread wire in order to push the thread down the pipe.
So, after looking at the specs you sent, I think I'm missing a few nuts and bolts to make it perfect, I need to dissect it more and figure out the details, but, my next big question is, how do you allign the machine?
I'll post pictures, but it seems that the needle coming down and slightly grazes the hole it goes into where the bobbin in.
Any ideas on that??

Thanks again!!

That needle alignment is weird. It appears to be too far forward in the hole. A proper alignment is dead center front to back. The needle clamp itself can be moved sideways to get closer or farther away from the hook. Remove that clamp and check for foreign material that might be causing the needle to sit on an angle. Maybe the clamp screw is loose. Tighten it after centering it sideways.. If this doesn't solve the problem, maybe the throat plate has two different size holes. Rotate the plate if the other hole is larger. Also, that needle looks very large. Try a smaller needle.
