Members PTVagabond Posted November 18, 2020 Members Report Posted November 18, 2020 So, I picked up an old Adler 69-362S machine. This is the subclass with the single needle and roller foot. I admit, I didn't know what I was doing when I bought it, as the roller foot was new to me. The machine works, after some rust removal. I found that the machine uses 135x5 needle system, but I cannot for the life of me figure out which bobbins to get. I have one bobbin, but it's shorter than the standard bobbins I find out there. Does anyone have any info on this? I'm hoping to use this machine to make leather bags out of 5.6oz leather (so doubling up it would be 10-12oz of leather). Quote

They measure 22mm x 9mm Sample: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/9033-bobbin-steel-pfaff-138-463-seki.html 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
