Members Pintodeluxe Posted August 13, 2018 Members Report Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) So far I've been unable to identify this double needle industrial machine. It says model 208 on the front. The only other markings are an apparent serial # C-680227. It's a needle feed machine, and is brown in color. There is a selector clutch on the left of the head to choose one needle vs. two. Some construction details look similar to older Adler machines. Maybe a clone of another machine? Any thoughts? I'm mostly looking for information regarding what needle class it takes, and to confirm the thread path. Thanks! Edited August 13, 2018 by Pintodeluxe Quote

Members DrmCa Posted August 13, 2018 Members Report Posted August 13, 2018 This is a high speed textile machine, useless for leather work. Quote
Members Pintodeluxe Posted August 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 13, 2018 Yeah, I took it on trade. I'm not planning on keeping it, I'm just trying to identify the make. Underside of slide plates say Simanco, but they could be aftermarket too. Quote
Members DrmCa Posted August 14, 2018 Members Report Posted August 14, 2018 It does look Singer'ish to me, especially the cover of the bulge on the casting and the flywheel. Quote
Members GMSS Posted April 2, 2021 Members Report Posted April 2, 2021 Look at Nakajima. I have a single needle feed that looks exactly as pic'd. Quote
