Metal Roots Report post Posted March 8, 2015 Hey there. Just starting out and looking to purchase a sewing machine. I have my eye on a used Adler 467. Does anyone know if these are good machines? It's for sale for approx. $600 US. Fair price? Looking to make bags, wallets, belts, motorcycle seats etc. Your advice would be much appreciated. Cheers!

shoepatcher Report post Posted March 9, 2015 Metal Roots, The Adler 467 is a good machine depending on the sub class. Get us the total model number and then we can respond to your questions better. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Roots Report post Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for the reply. It's a Adler 467-373 if that helps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted March 10, 2015 Metal Roots, That is a regular 467 with compound feed and walking feet. It does not have any of the toys, i.e. thread trimmer, automatic back tack, etc. If it did, , the model number would start out at 467-FA-373. This is a very good machine and powerful. It may have been one that preceded the 767 model or one that was brought back after the 767 was introduced. It is a big bobbin machine capable of sewing up to #207 thread. Foot lift anywhere from 14-16mm. Uses system 134-35 needles. Manuals are available for download on Adler's blog site. Can you get us pictures of the machine? The $600.00 price is a very good one depending on the shape of the machine. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sold for $800NZD https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/tq/367849066.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted March 11, 2015 Thats a very good price for an 467 (if in good sewing condition and not a worn out old factory machine) Even If you have to buy a new hook, its still a good price for a 467. Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
