Adler 205-64

[DarkHorseFarm]

Hello  to whoever reads this. 

I’m considering buying a 205-64. It needs the walking foot worked on. I’ve been told there are shims that are needed to keep it working in line. Its sews fine and could be used as is. 
I know it’s an old machine  with its limitations and I certainly don’t need it. That being said the asking price is $500 and I do wonder if it might be worth it to have I’m my shop or possibly repair and resell. Though I never seem to sell anything.

I’d like to hear opinions from those who know more about this machine than I.

Thanks

Jonathan

What other working sewing machines do you have in your shop?

A 205-64 is not a walking feet (-370) but a needle feed sewing machine.

One of the best made in the class of super heavy arm machines.
