Singer twin needle gauge set

[Sewit]

Hi all,

Just picked up a singer 145A404 for a fairly good price! It’s branded as a singer but certainly seems more like an Adler 220 76 273 and after searching through the forum I believe there was a time when adlers had a singer label stuck on them !

This machine is currently set with a 1 1/4” gauge which is far too big for my needs. 
I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction to find a smaller gauge set ? Or am I looking for a unicorn..

appreciate any info, thanks

Thanks. Spoke to Trojan yesterday and still waiting to hear back from College.. neither of them sounded hopeful at all to be honest so thought I’d reach out to the leatherworker family 🤞

depends on what you need.

Thanks for the links. I saw they have 3/4” but I was hoping to find something like a 5/8” set.. I’m pretty sure they exist for a singer 145w but not sure if they would still fit this Adler style machine..

The guy at Trojan seemed to think the Adler feed dogs are a slightly different shape to the seiko and singer. The one I’ve pulled out has a bit more shape to it I think.

Part number is 220 21 231 0

there must be a stash of these gauge parts out there somewhere in a box..
