Adler 120/8

[ferretpizzle]

Hi all

Purchased a heavy duty Adler 120/8 sewing machine.

wondering if anyone would know where I could find a schuttle for it.

thanks

A 7 class might work.  I would contact Cerliani and Hirose and see if they make hooks for the 120 class still.  That machine is still being made to order in Germany last i Knew  by another company for Adler.  I think it is the same one producing the 30 class shoe patchers for Adler.

Thank you for your response.

The bobbin holder has a piece broken out of it and cuts the thread when sewing.

I tried Adler and they said there were no new shuttles available. 
Now that you say it I think I did read some where that the singer class 7 may be compatable.

I will contact the people you have recommended. 
much appreciated.

The Singer 7 came with (at least) 2 different hook sizes / bobbin sizes so when looking for a hook compare the bobbin sizes too or you may end up with an way to large or way to small hook. F.i. the 7-10 has smaller hook than the 7-33.

I have a German language Adler 20 (predecessor of the 120 and similar to Singer 7) spare parts list and the larger hook has parts number 20195 (parts list explicit says Large Shuttle) and the smaller hook has parts number 20319 (closed frame) and 20315 (open frame). I think they are the same as for the 120. I assume the 120/8 is using the smaller hook but I´m not 100% sure.

Can you find a spare parts number on your hook or on the shuttle race so maybe we can figure out more when comparing the parts numbers.
