adler spare parts?

[Uwe]

Before you turn the post around, consider one of the key differences between the two post orientations.

Imagine sewing the bottom of a stiff cylindrical workpiece.

With the current orientation of the post (hook to left of needle) you sew in a clockwise direction and the size of the workpiece you can sew is limited only by the size of the room that the machine is in.

 

 

With the post rotated 180˚ (hook to the right of needle) you sew the same seam in a counter-clockwise direction, but then the size of the workpiece is limited by the distance between the post and the column of the machine.

You are right! I guess i only have to get used to this  orientation. Anyway i will make the question just for the knowledge!

Very good observation Uwe. Thanks for the passing on of some fine knowledge as always. Brain

[Michiel]

Thanks  Michiel but I can't see any link on your first post!

The second link ( http://sew24.blogspot.nl/p/downloads.html ) it's spare part's list and user's manual! I need the service manual.

[Michiel]

Did you try the "user manual" for the adler 68 ? (From the second link)

it is called user manual but 

it contains all lot of  service information which you normaly find in a service manual (timing , adjusting feeddogs , hook etc)

i just used it this evening for my adler postbed (put a new hook in it and had to shift the post to get the distance between the needle and the hook right)

Michiel i found it!Not exactly what i am looking for!  It's in German and not my machine's class. But thank you anyway!

One question! I think my machine needs timing! I'll explain myself. When the needle bar start penetrating the leather it still moves forward for a while. I thought that when the needle touch the leather sould be at its most forward position! Am i right? Tomorrow i'll make a video also
