Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 7, 2019 Moderator Report Posted March 7, 2019 1 hour ago, fbmini said: I would if I knew how. Is a thread the same as a topic? Yes and no. A new topic is actually the correct designation. The difference is that the designation "thread" usually refers to an ongoing topic with many replies. A new topic that has no replies is not actually a thread in that sense of the meaning. I refer to a new topic as a new topic, or new post. Once a discussion is underway, it becomes a (not new) thread. Hope that explains it adequately!

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. And I wish I could pick up some vintage Singers models on your side of the pond Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2

Even I can't find a Singer 153 walking foot machine for sale at an affordable price in the USA and I live here. They were all sent into Outer Space in Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster space car.

Members klutes Posted March 27, 2019 Author Members Report Posted March 27, 2019 Well I finally went and bought the Adler 30-7. Glad I made the trip. This machine has not seen a lot of use. In the same family since new with just occasional use. A big shout and thank you to Glenn for taking the time to answer my questions help get a couple things adjusted on it. Next in line is putting a sero motor on it. I will post some pics after finish gettting it set up., Quote Machines: Adler 69 , Adler 30-7, Adler 467, Cowboy bell skiver, Beilers embossing machine

(I added the missing V for you) I will post some pics after finish gettting it set up., Then make sure it has a releasable brake when you begin to move the speed pedal, or no brake at all. If it already has a clutch motor, I advise leaving it on. It is usually much easier to control the brake release on a clutch motor than a servo motor (I have both types on various machines). Since patchers are often hand wheeled, you don't want to have to fight the action of a motor to spin the hand wheel for precise stitching.
