This is an interesting post, with a nice machine.  I must say hiring a service tech does affect the value. Then again this requirement is an investment for most large companies. 

Many of us here on the site including you, either start learning to repair their machines in interest and or a cost investment. Only you know what your primary focus is to be at this start.

In a begining getting the machine to function as the factory designed is an asset. So anyone interested will also need to account for this. If you know a technician in this industrial field then this may be a great option.  

There is no doubt others here have been a great asset in their help. This internet has been the best thing ever for the sharing knowledge.  In this strategy we just have to account for time and patience if we ourselves decide to repair beyond operator levels.

Good day

Congratulations on your new arrival! 

It's most likely that the machine will need some adjustments to work properly.  That's just normal and does not affect its value. If parts are missing or broken, that's a different story.

However, if you have to get a service technician to come out every time it needs and adjustment, that will add up over time. 

There's a lot you can do yourself if you are the least bit mechanically inclined. If you want remote, internet-based help, then you'll have to describe problems and details as precisely as possible and provide good photos or videos.

You can crowdsource a lot of help right here on LW if you are patient and have a tolerance for noise and opinions. If you prefer one-on-one help for specific troubleshooting or adjustment, I'm one of the people who offer remote one-on-one service calls.

An Adler 220 Parts Diagram (Adler 220 parts.pdf) will be helpful in working on the machine and to identify parts in question.
