Adler 669

[shoepatcher]

ok   You need a stud  to fit into the end of the 669 balance wheel.   Weaver Leather makes this stud if you need to mount a synchronizer on the machine.  No part number for the stud.

If you want an air lift, the part number for the cylinder and attachment screw is #0667 135204.  The manual  foot lift kit is Adler part # 0367 595124.  These parts come from Adler.   I put an air cylinder kit on the treadle pedal which allowed me to have air lift on the treadle if my compressor is on.  If not, I use the manual knee lift.  I have both on my machine.  Nice.  Get me an email and I will make a video to send you.

Thank you very much, Glenn! That's extremely helpful. I was able to find the assemblies for the part numbers you've listed. It's easy to see how the manual foot lift kit installs and works, but I am scratching my head on the 0667 135204 air cylinder and attachment screw. Are you able to describe where this connects to on the machine? I'm guessing it's not attached to the knee lift area, but attaches elsewhere on the machine?

I'd hoped to go electric on the presser foot lift, but I'm happy to use air if that gets the job done in a simple and straight-forward fashion. 

Again, much thanks for your assistance. A video would be very helpful. I will message you an email address.

To add some useful info to this 669 thread, for those who come along later, the part number to attach the motor directly to the 669 is 0659 490010.

Attached here is a 669 Parts List. To reduce the file size I've had to limit its compatibility to Adobe Acrobat 10 and later.

I took off the back cover of the 669 and I believe I can see where the 0667 135204 air cylinder will attach. I've provided a photo and diagram here  showing where it bolts to the machine and where the ring clip will be attached.

I will order the parts tonight. I'm not entirely sure how best to run the air hose inside the machine, but I'm sure I'll figure that part out. 

I'm going to try and figure out if there is a set screw for the synchronizer "bolt" (part number 0667 105100), rather than press fitting it with tape. Maybe I'll 3d print a socket to remove the machines flywheel.

Thanks again, Glenn.

The air  foot lift is on treadle  pedal value I ordered from Universal Supply in St.Louis.  It makes the treadle into an air powered foot lift by healing back.  The regular foot lift you do not need with this set up.

send an email that  i can send video to
