Trox Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 That Adler 120-30 is gonna be my next sewing machine...woooohaaaaaaa.....what a horse of a machine.....loved the video!! Hello Jim, be prepared to open your check book, these monsters cost around 200 000,00 Euro. Thats an absurd price for a sewing machine. However, its hand made on license from DA.

Members Trevor Posted August 14, 2013 Members Report Posted August 14, 2013 Hi there, I recall seeing a few years back a new machine that had come into the shop where I get my needles etc. and decided to take a couple of pics. I think this may be the equivalent to the heavy Adler 230 and the singer. These cost an arm and a leg to buy here so I hate to think what they would cost brand new.

Cheers Trevor "Way Down Under" Hi, yes thats a copy of the Singer 27 B2B http://www.industrialsewmachine.com/webdoc1/singer/27b.htm . I believe it has a higher lift and uses needle system 1000. Seiko was made in Japan, but now I think they are made in China too. These machines are much cheaper that the Adler 120. I know of one original Adler 120 for sale (brand new, unused) here in Norway.

Members Vincent Carpenter Posted August 15, 2013 Members Report Posted August 15, 2013 HI Vincent, please post a picture of it. Its probably a thread lube box, but then again. I have to see it before answering. The only documentations I know of is on this blog; of Thomas Brinkhoff, head of spare parts Dürkopp Adler. http://sew24.blogspo.../downloads.html I thinks its only part books available for it. However, you could maybe learn something from reading about its successor the Adler 120. Good luck Tor Hi Tor, It is a tread lube box I have found out, thanks for your answer//Vincent Quote
Members Singermania Posted September 20, 2013 Members Report Posted September 20, 2013 HI Guys, its the same here in Oz, Singer 15s, 31s, 95s, 96 and 99 etc aren't worth anything here, lots of people buy them thinking they can do horse rug repairs and saddlery but they just can't do it. As soon as you get to a leather size machine the prices dramatically rise. The new Chinese wave of machines affected prices of older machines like the Singer 7 class for a while, but then these older machines seem to have bounced back again. The Pearson no 6 used to sell for about $3500 Australian here, then they dropped to about $2500 now they sell again for between $3600 and $4000. I note over in the States that Weaver's said about there last auction that older machines brought more money this year. I've had a few Adler 20-2 in my collection and didn't find a manual, however they are so close to a Singer 7-31 or 33 that that manual will suffice and its freely available. For anyone that wants one I have the Singer 132K6 manual, 45K manual, Pearson no 6 manual and BUSMC A! and Pilot manual, if anyone has a copy of the Landis #1 manual I would love to have that. Sadly I've sold my Seiko CH-8B and its going out today, simply the best machine on the market by far. I know the Chinese dealers are pretty happy with their 441 clones but really they still aren't as good as the Seiko. I only sold the head so will be able to drop on the new Singer 97-10 head waiting for me at the docks on to the table. Tor, I have a soft spot for the Singer 7 class, with a few in my collection, however with their current market value here its not possible to bring them in from overseas. When I get some time and space I'll post some pictures of my Singer 6-10 and 6-12, very very heavy machines. Regards Steve Quote

Members Singermania Posted September 26, 2013 Members Report Posted September 26, 2013 HI Vincent, The manuals for the Adler/Durkopp 20 series can be a little hard to find, however here are the two that should help you, they are free, just download and print. http://www.duerkopp-adler.com/commons/download/download-text-attachments/Vintage_Parts_Books_Adler/20.pdf http://www.duerkopp-adler.com/commons/download/download-text-attachments/Vintage_Manuals_Adler/Manual_Adler_20.pdf Regards Steve Quote
