Members MG513 Posted September 15, 2015 Members Report Posted September 15, 2015 The small bobbins are style#19 Thanks bob! Also I'm still very interested in that patcher! Quote
Members MG513 Posted September 15, 2015 Members Report Posted September 15, 2015 Yep The Adler paint job looks original but I´m not 100% sure and the machine seems to have a darning attachment. darning.jpg I will check tonight to get the number or letter that designates the bobbin size on the pre-wound. Most often, they are in a #69 thread. I've actually scene that video so you will have to excuse me not realizing this machine could come in black lol. Now this darning thing... I'm about to look it up, but I will ask anyway, what is it? Is a useful addition? Thank u all. And that's exactly what I planned on using, #69 thread so thanks for looking for that! glenn Quote

Members shoepatcher Posted September 15, 2015 Members Report Posted September 15, 2015 Like Bob said, the small pre-wound bobbins for a Singer and Adler is style #19. The big bobbin Singer and Adler pre wound is style "I". glenn Quote

Lady says its 1910, cleaned and oiled and stitching beautifully. Stitches looks good to me! What are your thoughts?? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted September 18, 2015 Members Report Posted September 18, 2015 Cannot tell much from these tiny pictures. It is just another very old patcher machine, most likely a 29-1 w/o thread regulator and over painted as it seems (no decals present). I personally would not buy a patcher this old except it is very cheap or in exceptional condition with original decals. Its always the same with these patcher - check the stitch length! If you like it´s okay if not just don´t buy it. I´d rather buy the Adler 30 you mentioned before.

Members MG513 Posted September 18, 2015 Members Report Posted September 18, 2015 It's a 29-4, don't know what a stitch regulator is but I will look it up, and it's off ebay so can't do anything about the picture size. Unfortunately th other guy still didn't give me a price on the Adler or I might have considered it... Thanks again! Quote
Members MG513 Posted September 18, 2015 Members Report Posted September 18, 2015 http://www.bootmaker.com/29-4.pdf JUST LOOKED IT UP! 29-4 does have a stitch regulator... $600. Thx for all the help. I know it probably was getting repetitive but I really do appreciate it. Just wanted to make the best decision I can! Quote
Members Constabulary Posted September 18, 2015 Members Report Posted September 18, 2015 thread regulator - not stitch regulator. But the correct long nomenclature form the Singer manuals is TAKE-UP LEVER REGULATOR INDICATOR It´s this little thing here: There are 2 different types and the very very old patchers don´t even have one.

Well i just found out she was 4 hours away... My brother isnt willing to do the 8 hour trip with me so Im gonna have to pass on it. Its looking more like im getting and Adler but I dont like begging ppl to take my money and I just cant seem to get a flipping price out of this guy. Im tired of waiting lol. Ok so I just tried to google it myself but all i kept finding is stuff about "stitch regulator". No thread regulator info or what its used for and why its important OR which singers (or Adlers) the darn thing comes on... Please tell me the difference between the 2? And why is it important? EDIT: Just got a text from him. Says (the Adler) its set up for servo motor, but that he hasnt found the correct one yet. 650 no motor 750 with... Im guessing I should probably ask him if it has this thread regulator while Im at it lol. Thanks so much Quote
