Monster Adler 120-2

[Uwe]

I got motivated and connected my SewPro servo motor to my Singer 7 Class in a test setup, just to check speeds and take measurements for the real table. I'm planning to mount the motor to the top of the table, rather than cutting a slot and mounting it underneath. This mounting concept would also work if you want to have the machine just sitting on top of the table.

Here's a video of my test setup - just for reference since you're looking at motor options. The real test will be sewing a thick stack of webbing, but speed control looks quite suitable and slow enough to me, even without a separate speed reducer pulley.

That's kind of what I had in mind. Your 7 looks like there's room to fit the electronics box underneath with the buttons and display facing forward (if sideways). My 120 won't allow that so my installation might not be so tidy. I should try it first without a speed reducer.

Thanks, Gary

I've been making up my tables with the "servo" mounted on the top rear of the table....where the "dead space" for big lamps and thread stands usually is. This is a bad picture of my "universal table" for various "domestic" sized machines, and I set up my 29B that way as soon as the box was opened. The price point is now attractive enough to kill off the pathetic "domestic" stock motors for good, in my hideout. And... Since we don't have to shoehorn in 45 incredibly awkward pounds of archaic, buzzing, *watermellon sized* motors anymore, the main reason for going underneath the table at all has sort of gone the way of the dodo, at least for the casual user. I doubt I'll ever slot a table for belts again.

That looks like a beast! No wonder they wanted to get rid of it...just for the shear size of it. Congrats on the find...looks to be in good condition as well!!

Sark9 - You are absolutely right! Why struggle with the under-table convention?

Thanks Chayse, I'll post images when I get it running.
