Finally found a Adler 30-7

[klutes]

Been some what looking for a Adler 30-7 machine for a little over a year. Finally found one close enough and priced ok. Going to  pick it up this Saturday. Gentleman that used it passed  away last year and it is now for sale. Glad to get it just hate under those circumstances. But it suppose to be dirty from setting for a year but complete and in sewing condition. About 7 hour drive to get it. That will make two Adlers that I will have. This one and a 69. Anxious to get it.   Now just need  one more. Lol

7 hour drive? Just a trip down the road. A chap in my shooting club drove much further just to buy a machine.

Yea it’ s not really that bad of a trip.

Thats how different things can be. Lots of folks on my side of the pond are not willing to drive 2 hours for a sewing machine. I have no problem with 4-5 hrs one way but thats my limit and it really must be worth the trip. I usually try to combine the trip and pick up something else or take a day off or visit a friend or so...

Just picked-up a DURKOPP 372 twin needle. Distance between needles 14mm. Spares are diffecult to find, so I found another one, unfortunatly different type a 375 twin needle in need of a lot of cleaning.

Together with the 375 came a PFAFF 143U12BS, basically not of interest to me.

So here is the question: anybody intetested in these machines? I live in the centre part of the Netherlands, near Utrecht.

Klutes,

Know this.  A lot of parts for the 30-1,5,7, and 15 no longer available.  Let me know if I can help.

I think this just has to do with the availability of the machines on this side of the pond. I always look at eBay in Germany and drool over all the wonderful machinery still readily available over there. I've driven 1800 miles a few times to pick up machines.

thanks for the offfer GLen. So with the parts issue should I not get this machine and get a large bobbin singer.  Haven’t made the trip to get it yet.
