Adler 204-64 Heavy Duty flatbed sewing machine

[Bob T]

Hi Everybody, I have an Aldler 204-64 Heavy Duty flatbed sewing machine for sale. The machine has less than 200 total hours of use on it so it is in near perfect condition. It sews leather up to 5/8" thick, it has a walking foot, and it sews in reverse. It comes with the original OEM table, clutch motor, speed reducer, bobbin winder, and thread stand. IT even comes with the original Owners Manual. It can easily handle the largest size of threads. I bought it to work on sails but discovered I needed a heavy duty zigzag so here it is for sale. The original owner bought it to build saddles, but shortly after purchasing it, he had a heart attach and never got to use it and I bought it from his daughter after he passed away.

The machine has a nice slow stitch rate that is easy to control for precise work

I have lots of pics so let me know if you want to see more. I've found new ones on the internet for about $4500 so given the condition of this one, my asking price is $2850. Bob T. (361) 857-5456

The first pic shows how large the machine is compared to a standard industrial machine.

Bob,

Where are you located?

Shipping this thing could be costly

I'm located in Corpus Christi, Texas and I would guess motor freight to ship the machine would be around $350 based on shipping a similar machine last year. I would include palleting and drop off at the freight dock in the selling price. Actual freight costs would be by purchaser.

I forgot to add, the Adler comes with a factory edge guide, some bobbins, some new needles and miscellaneous other stuff like a belt guard, an accessory box, oil bottle, etc. The 1/2 hp motor runs on 110v. All you have to do is add thread (and maybe a light) and start sewing. Without a doubt, this is one of the easiest machines to sew on I've ever used. IF I had more room, I'd keep it.

Since I'm not a sewing machine collector, I need to sell this machine because I could use the cash and the room, so I'll try dropping the price $100 per month until it sells. The new price until the end of July is $2750. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks.

As of August 1, 2007 the price of this machine has been reduced to $2650. :flowers: Cheers! Bob T.

Bob T.,

Two questions. 1: Do you know what year this machine was made? 2: What was you plan for payment?

Hi Spencer, I think the original Owner purchased the machine in 1996 or 1997. He made one saddle with it then had a heart attach. The machine passed to his children who stored it in the garage for 2 years before putting it up for sale in 2000. I bought it in 2000.

Sorry, I can't accept payments. Unless you live near me, there would be no way to guaranty payment, no way to secure the loan.

One additional thought, for protection of buyer and seller, an internet escrow service could be used with cost shared equally between buyer and seller. If using an escrow service is a bit over the top for you, then pay with US Postal Money Orders. Its good for both parties, guaranteeing payment to the seller, plus Postmaster General and FBI involvment on behalf of the buyer in the event of fraud. I've purchased a number of items on the internet with US Postal Money Orders.
