Adler 467 For Venator

[shaymus]

Thank you for documenting the troubleshooting and steps to get this machine sewing well! There is amazing information in this thread.

I just purchased an Adler 467 that originally had all of the pneumatic controls that has been simplified by removing the components, and now has a generic servo motor. Having this information and the pictures helps a ton to make sense of what is going on, or what should be going on with the oiling system and hook.  I'm hoping to get it working with the Efka V720 controls and pneumatic cylinders, if possible. I'll post about it in a new thread.

Recently acquired an Adler 467 and find the forum and this thread especially very informative. Machine very dirty and I am currently just spending time cleaning everything. I notice that the "plate" #8 on the diagram on mine is completely torn as per the 2nd picture. The front cover of the machine has a T-like felt of which one of the legs of the T is suppose to rest on top of the plate assisting with the lubrication. Logic tells me that the plate acts as a oil catch can as there is a wick on top of the plate too. I am of the view that it is important to replace the torn plate to avoid oil making a mess on the workpiece. Has anyone replaced this plate before and how big a job is it as it seems as if the oval hole in the plate fits snug on to the "Needle Bar Swing" #3 on the diagram. Does the needle bar swing need to be removed as there is very little space to try and manoeuvre that plate past the cast iron housing of the machine?
