Members AEH Posted January 21, 2015 Members Report Posted January 21, 2015 Gentlemen, some time ago I got some good advice on selecting a motor for my Claes 214-1, an Adler 108-5 clone. (This thread: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=59603&hl= ) . For anyone interested, I ended up buying a Jack KJ561A , and a speed reducer from Sieck . The speed reducer came to a very good price with European shipping, but unfortunately with a very long delivery time, still waiting. In the meantime I am trying to learn a bit more about the machine, as I know very little about sewing machines. This machine came with six different feet. The foot on the left in the picture was attached when I got it, and it was used by a sail maker. I would be very grateful for advise about the intended use of the different feet, and also for the different guides. Thanks, Arvid Quote Arvid Hoffarvid@murul.nowww.murul.nowww.arbeidskar.no
Members Constabulary Posted January 21, 2015 Members Report Posted January 21, 2015 Your machine is rather a "clone" of the Adler 5 (not 105). I can make a lot of words but instead I will post here or send you an extract from the original Adler 4 /5 manual where a lot of the attachments are pictured and described (in German language).

Members Constabulary Posted January 21, 2015 Members Report Posted January 21, 2015 I always wondered why these attachments are no longer made. @ Darren Brosowsky f you read this - how about reproducing these attachments in India? I guess you have contacts there, right? I think most are quite useful for leather workers. Aren´t they?

Members Darren Brosowski Posted January 21, 2015 Members Report Posted January 21, 2015 I would want them made right so I would make them here. At the moment I have the roller guide and roller foot. I always wondered why these attachments are no longer made. @ Darren Brosowsky f you read this - how about reproducing these attachments in India? I guess you have contacts there, right?

Evo160K Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 So how can a person copy the text from the document Constabulary posted in response #3 and paste it into Google Translate? I've tried, but for some reason can't copy it. Would one of the computer savvy people on LW please tell us computer challenged people how to do it? I will certainly appreciate it, and I suspect others will also. Quote

It would have to be run through OCR (optical character recognition) software first to convert it to text. Then you can copy and past to google.Tom Quote
