When was my Adler 67 made?

...Why would one flip the model plate?   and change the model # ?  Cheating customers - probably for "claiming" that this is a more modern model.

OK, sure, maybe that is the case, cheating a customer could be the point.

Or, it could be something else that is VERY legitimate, something simply as recycling a model tag.

As seen here, a 114 subclass was changed, maybe correctly to reflect a change in subclass and parts?  Not sure.  

68 and 69 class machines have literally dozens of sub classes, and would be common to change the model tag to reflect this.

So when you seen tags switched or changed, it's not always to dupe or flat out lie to a customer, there may have been many various legitimate reasons to replace the tag.

I'll have to add escutcheon pins to my vocabulary (the eustachian tube connects your middle ear to your throat.)

Uwe,

Please feel free to add escutcheon pins to your vocab, see below, we use this to denote a type of decorate pin.

I learned somthing new, too; the eustachian tube connects the middle ear to your throat.  I never new that at all.

Glad to share and learn, that's why I'm here.  All the best, and I very much appreciate you Uwe and all the work you do here and on YouTube.

 

  All the best.

I think the "GK" (Greifer Kupplung, i.e. hook clutch) models were a later addition to the family of Adler 67 machines. 

News to me, I would have never known that, many machines have GK in their model number.

Possibly the GK refference is a sign!
