Members shoepatcher Posted January 26, 2019 Members Report Posted January 26, 2019 The Adler 669 Eco comes with a knee lift. However, they sell a kit to convert it to a foot lift. I now have air lift on my 669 but kept the knee lift pedal to use if the air compressor is not charged. I love it. This machine does not have the ability to use a synchronizer. It is because of the way the end of the shaft is designed. I am going to have a bracket made out of aluminum to mount the synchronizer on. I strongly recommend the machine to anyone looking for the narrow cylinder arm. No other company to my knowledge makes a new generation machine like this today. It is the only one of its kind in this class. glenn Quote

It's a weird design that there is no way to screw a standard synchro on there. These are designed to take a mounted sensor behind the main pulley (for Efka servo motor controllers) I can probably just wrap the end of a standard synchro stud with tape and jam it in there. Synchros don't need much to hold on, they don't bear any load really. I might visit the local machinist and have something turned for it out of nylon or delrin. Maybe a handlebar plug? In the mean time I am waiting on some back ordered parts that didn't ship with the machine (a motor mount and some other stuff). Once I get it all bolted up in the next week or two I'll post up some pics and a little review. It will have a binder package installed and the motor is a nice Seiko HVP-70 servo I picked up on eBay, which will bolt directly to the back of the machine. I'm keeping it knee lift for now. Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted January 28, 2019 Members Report Posted January 28, 2019 keep me posted. I am having the bracket made end of next month. I can send you the specs at that time. glenn Quote

Members R8R Posted February 9, 2019 Members Report Posted February 9, 2019 Btw the synchro adapter is DA part number 0667 105100. $20 part. It's also spec for the 867 but it fits in the 669. However, there is no access to a set screw for it, so just wrapped some tape on it and it's pressed in there. Seems fine. Once I get this whole thing together I'll make a big post about the setup. Leaving town Monday so it might not be for another week or so. Quote

I love it.... glenn Hello, Glenn, I was wondering if i could ask about the kit you mention to convert the 669 from knee lift to foot lift. My dealer is unaware of this kit/part, and I'm trying to get a 24v electric foot lift to work on this machine, and the easiest way would be to have this kit. Any chance you have a party number? The chain would really simplify things, otherwise the cylinder just doesn't have enough travel, pulling sideways from underneath the machine on the attachment rod. It's like 2" travel at that point. Would you be able to snap a photo of your air lift setup? I would install the same if i can see how, or perhaps i could see how otherwise to integrate the 24v solenoid. Much thanks if you are able to shed some light on this for me! Edited May 8, 2021 by Boldly Quote
