I have an Adler 30-7 with a worn needle clamp (worn inside the needle hole) and when I tried installing a Singer needle clamp, it didn't fit right (sat on an angle). I'm sure that a Singer clamp can be filed to fit, but didn't go there for the time being. Curiously, the Adler needle clamp did fit on my Singer patcher! So, the ridges in the needle bar and clamp must be a little fatter on the Adler.

Thanks, I ordered a singer 29k one, just in case it would fit, not too familiar with this

machine, but called my attention when I saw it on Craiglist

Then get some precision metal files. You are going to have to enlarge the horizontal slots in the clamp to make it fit the Adler needlebar. It requires very thin files.

Why not trying ebay.de, or adler themselves.  I think these spare parts are stillegale to find, becase they are still made.

Thanks for advise/ information

will first try clamp for the singer 29k, still waiting for fasteners,

$127.00 is a bit steep, considering that still do

not know is machine will work
