Members dagcon Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 Hi, I not sure exactly where I should post my question but would anyone know what machine is that? I can see Adler name, but would like to know about its capabilities and what would be reasonable price for it. Thanks so much, Dag Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 21, 2013 Moderator Report Posted January 21, 2013 I think it's an Adler 105 or 205 - something. Hard to tell from that angle, but I can't see the giveaway presser foot lifter ball handle on the top left of the head. The bull image suggests that it is a modified Ferdinand Bull machine, but it does have an Adler sticker on it. Also, no built in bobbin winder.

Cobra Steve Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Hi Dag, hi Wiz. It looks to me like it has the old Chandler label on the front which would indicate it is a 105-64. Chandler distributed the Adler machines and the Ferdinand Bull in the late 60's and 70's which would also indicate the picture of the bull.

CowboyBob Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Yes,Steve is correct it's a Adler 105-64 should sew real close to 1/2" & use up to #346 thread. Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
Members dagcon Posted January 25, 2013 Members Report Posted January 25, 2013 Thank you so much for all your responses. I received more pictures of the offered machine, and If you could help to clear my confusion: is it Adler? Modified Adler/Ferdinand Bull? Chandler? What do you think would be a fair price for it? I am told it is 20-30 years old? I need to make harness / tack repairs. Can't find anyone in my area. Thanks again, Dag Quote
Members billymac814 Posted January 26, 2013 Members Report Posted January 26, 2013 Its an Adler as Bob said, probably modified( this is what I got from Bob and Steve's post). I would think you'd be fine doing tack repairs with it as long as you don't need to sew beyond its capabilities. (1/2") Maybe one of the other guys will chime in and help you with cost, and more details on what would have been modified, I'd say alot will depend on condition and how well it sews. The best thing to do would be take the thickest and thinnest thing you'll need to stitch and go see it and try it out. You could also google The Model number that Bon gave a few posts ago and see what others have sold for. I know that doesn't give you much to go on, but hopefully someone else can chime in.
