Members cdthayer Posted October 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 19, 2014 The spinner knob for hand cranking is working alright for now. A servo motor may be in the future, but I still need to get about $300 worth of parts to restore the hand presser bar lift and the automatic tension release. I’ll probably concentrate on getting those parts before a motor. I’ve only used the machine a couple of times in the past couple of months, and one of those was a free gratis job, so it may take me a while to make enough money for just the parts.In the mean time, it’s one of the quietest-running machines that I have.....CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members cdthayer Posted February 11, 2016 Author Members Report Posted February 11, 2016 I’m still looking for feedback on narrower feet for this Adler 205-64. Something that I can sew up next to the 90-degree area of a wet-molded leather case. Was there a narrow foot or anything similar to zipper feet (left & right) ever made for the Adler 205-64 jump-foot machine? If so, do they require matching feed dogs? Are there any other brand of feet that are compatible?CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members silverbullet Posted February 11, 2016 Members Report Posted February 11, 2016 Hey CD , try calling Bob Kovar , he's on this site and his banners on top, The cowboy is his big machine and his dad and him have forgot more about industrial sewing machines then most will ever know. I bet he may have the foot you need or he can point you to one . Great to deal with and very helpful . Gary aka silverbullet Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 12, 2016 Moderator Report Posted February 12, 2016 Weaver Leather might be able to make a customized foot from an old one, if they have one laying around. Otherwise, finding an affordable Adler foot to modify may be an elusive task. Otherwise, seek out any Adler dealers, both in North America and Europe. College Sewing in the UK has lots of obscure parts. Our members down under may have a foot for that model.

Members cdthayer Posted February 13, 2016 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks silverbullet and Wizcrafts for your help.Evidently, there aren’t many surplus feet lying around unused, and that’s kind of what I suspected. I’ll just keep going with the one that I have, and maybe bump this thread up again in a few months to see if anything has become available. My machine is working great for nearly all of the repair tasks that I’ve needed it for, with the exception of getting in really close in an area or two.CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."
