Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted May 11, 2017 Members Report Posted May 11, 2017 IMHO, those Adlers were definately saveable, or at least worth spending a bit time trying a bit resuscitation on them. But there again, I'm a sucker for waifs and strays. Quote “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!! Next they'll be wanting the vote!!!!! “.

I´m sure there is a dark figure of "secret Singer users" in Europe - like the free masons No offense, I understand it. It's good to alway find parts and documentation for what you working on. That's not always that easy with Adler, not a problem but Singer are better there. I'll guess I've had some bad luck with my Singers. I think the different is the precision the Adler are made, like comparing it to a Swiss watch with super nice steel. The Singer is strong heavy duty but a bit more ruff. The Advantage with Singer are that there was so many of them.

Trox Posted May 12, 2017 Report Posted May 12, 2017 VanRhodes, Yes they looks to be a bit longer. And there are many different types of front plates with foot lifter http://sew24.blogspot.no/p/downloads.html Yetibelle, it a big machine(s), no more room for machines I have no use. Yes those Adlers was saveable, they had done service in Norways biggest (only perhaps) sports tent producer. Espessially the highlift machines are valuable, if you are going to buy a SL produced Adler 120-30 you have to pay a crazy price for it.

Of course I'll love Singer fans, it's always possible they will not buy that nice Adler bargain and leave it for me Edited May 12, 2017 by Trox spelling Quote Tor Workshop machines: TSC 441 clone/Efka DC1550, Dürkopp-Adler 267-373/Efka DC1600, Pfaff 345-H3/Cobra 600W, Singer 29K-72, Sandt 8 Ton clicking machine, Alpha SM skiving unit, Fortuna 620 band knife splitting machine.

Members VanRhodes Posted May 14, 2017 Members Report Posted May 14, 2017 By accident I found a couple of pictures of the Singer 7 class with an adler-looking head and spring. Quote
