Adler 269-373 Needle Bar Position Adjustement

[Yanni]

I am trying to move the needle bar a bit towards the right so that the needle is dead centre to the feed dog hole.

The manual says unscrew w59 picture attached) but can't find where this eccentric is.

Can someone help locate this eccentric so that I can move the needle bar towards the right a bit.

Thanks

There is nothing in that part of the machine that would adjust the needle to the right,only front to back.Is there any left to right play in the needle bar?Sometimes this model can get play (left to right) in the feed dog,the track the feed dog slides in may need adjusted.

[Yanni]

No, there is no play at all, very stable needle bar, it's just the needle for some reason is around 1.5mm to the left inside the hole of the feed dog.

I thought the same Bob but the manual says that you need to re-set the bar rocker...please see attached photo.

I've also found where this screw is located at position "L" as in second photo.

That adjustment is for the front to back of the hole.Is your feed dog loose?

[Yanni]

Yes, it is, just move it a bit to the left so that it is centered and discovered they have removed the washer/spacer from the right bolt that holds the feed dog assembly.

Ordered the parts and will hopefully work fine after.

Thanks Bob.
