I went to thread this Adler 167 GK 373 and I was stumped, I haven't seen anything like this and after several searches apparently the interweb hasn't either. I suspect this was a work around but have you seen one like this. Faced with needing parts I wonder what a good source might be in the US. Thanks for any thoughts and input.

Yes,it original both the single & double needles use the same back plate but the tension post on a single needle is usually on the leftside.

If your machine was a double needle you would have 2-posts(with the tension discs),one on the right & one on the left,on single needles it's on the left & yours is on the right.It really doesn't matter as long as it's working,which it will but I was just letting you know.

This is what a standard Adler 167 tension unit looks like:

Ha, the home-made looking double loop wire actually shows up in the Parts manual for the Adler 167-GK373:

The bottom end of your wire should be inside the corresponding hole in the plate, not sit on top of the plate.

Ah, yes. I see, this is much better. That spring has been riding there a good long time apparently, judging by the divot it has worn into the plate. Much appreciation.
