Members Kryptonite Posted February 14, 2021 Members Report Posted February 14, 2021 Anybody done an Adler conversion from 67 to 167? Is just a bobbin case, hook and cap all that is needed? Thank you. Cheers, Will in Florida Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 14, 2021 Moderator Report Posted February 14, 2021 Increasing the diameter of the bobbin case will require a matching longer take-up lever and all that it entails. The hook saddle or its housing may need to be milled out for more clearance. Similar discussions are currently under way about other machines. I have a modified Singer walking foot machine that now uses double capacity Juki U bobbins and a lot of parts and work went into the conversion (done by the dealer).

Members Kryptonite Posted February 15, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 15, 2021 OK thanks guys. I guess the prudent thing to do is to wait for an Adler167 to come up for sale. Cheers Will in Florida Quote
