Excellent machine, Adler's flagship walking foot for canvas, upholstery, top bottom and needle feed.

...And spare parts can take some time to get it.  This is why we need to be careful when buying used Adler/Pfaff machines; A few missing parts could potentially be the cost of a good new machine setup.

I have had my 267 going on 25 years now and have not needed any parts except for needles, and a few feet that I broke learning to sew.  I have noticed that my bobbin winder is not working like it used to, I think the rubber tire inside the machine could be replaced.

Replacement rubber O rings are availabe for that.  They will wear out over time from normal use.

I have an Adler 267 30" long arm machine. I recently put a servo motor with needle positioner I bought from Gregg. I am VERY happy with my Adler!!

I bought an adler that looks about the same as this one (not sure of the model off the top of my head) a couple of years ago.  The lady I bought it from bought it new in 1984 and sewed one pick up seat and a leather duster for her son.  The machine was vertually new when I picked it up.  I love the machine.  leaps and bounds better than my old Pfaff 545.

Didn't know/remember your a poster here!  Do you have pics of the 267?  That's a badazz machine, and very rare factory long arm.  Not many going around that's for sure.
