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.

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)

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
