Members Adekunle Posted September 5, 2022 Members Report Posted September 5, 2022 Hi folks. I bought an Adler 105-64 yesterday; it had been in storage for years. The bobbin pops right out after a few stitches.I thought it might have to do with the bobbin case and change it but the same thing occurred, this time breaking the needle! I suspect this may have something to do with the timing. Does anyone have advice/suggestions for me, please? Also, will a speed reducer work on this machine? I make mainly belts and need slower speeds than what the motor currently offers. Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted September 5, 2022 Members Report Posted September 5, 2022 I have the parts list and the operations manual for the 105-64. Only in hard copy though. glenn Quote

You might not need a speed reducer for belts if you practice a little. I still have machines without a speed reducer and I learned long ago how to feather the clutch to get slower speeds. A speed reducer will work just fine. If you buy a box type it will be easier to replace without changing much.... Quote
Members Constabulary Posted September 6, 2022 Members Report Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) probably the small curved leaf spring which holds the bobbin housing in the shuttle frame is worn or the screw that holds the spring in place is loose. Remove the shuttle hook from the machine and swing the bobbin housing aside and the check the spring and screw. Just a guess w/o having seen pictures.

Members joseramon Posted September 9, 2022 Members Report Posted September 9, 2022 Te sugiero que cambies la polea por una más pequeña así reduce la velocidad y te acostumbres al embrague del motor alinea bien el garfio con el tiempo y altura de la aguja y ve mirando la tensión del hilo Quote

For me it is hard to imagine why and when a bobbin pops out of an oscillating shuttle hook.
