CeeCee Report post Posted September 29, 2018 Hi there. I just recently acquired this Adler 5 A 25 and have not been able to find any information on it anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get a suitable foot for sewing holsters, knife sheaths as well as perhaps an edge guide. The plate has been fixed previously as you can see in the pictures so I may also need a new/used plate. I have not been able to find a parts list or operating guide for this model and have no idea how old it is. Thanks in advance everyone. CeeCee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted September 29, 2018 The Adler 5-25 (not sure what the subclass "A" is) is a machine with driven top feed (with toothed presser foot) combined with bottom feed. BUT is it also possible to set up the machine as top feed only - seems your machine is set up this way. I cannot spot a feed dog. But it should be possible to install a standard needle plate and feed dog. The predecessor of the Adler 5-25 is the Adler 105-25 I attach a data sheet here. Presser feet are a bit of a problem for this machine as they are using feet with a special shank hight. Not sure how your foot looks like but they are usually toothed. I think I have a some accessories for this machine but most will not be suitable for holsters as this machine often has been used in for special applications in the shoe trade. I have to look for the accessories and send you a PM when I found them. If you need a manual google for Adler 105 manual (file is too big to attach here) l, the machine is the later model but technical features of then remained the same (not all but many). adler-0105-6-8-25.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CeeCee Report post Posted October 2, 2018 Perfect. Thank you Constabulary for the information and I would love to hear from you when you have time regarding what parts you might have. The foot on it is toothed. Was hoping to get a smooth foot for it. I am going to give it a good cleaning and oiling while I wait on hearing about any plates, feet, etc that may be available. Have a great day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
