Advice for a sewing machin for upholstery

[fragged8]

Hiya

Adler or Durkopp adler are the rolls royce machines but spares are about 2 if not 3 times the price of other machines.

Do make sure it's walking foot or compound feed as it will make your life easier. 

you're quoting in Euros ? where abouts are you ? i'm in the Uk and have a really good contact.

Hi there,

I just ring your man, and he is a mechanic specialize in sewing machin.
He told me that it is a compound feed walking foot, he change the sewing hook and the timing belt on it, and there is a single phase motor on it.

I ask him for the exact model, but it is not written on the machin however he gave me the serial number.
I am not so sure this information will be any help to me really.
He also said to me that the machin is over 25 years old.

What do you reckon a bargain? or just more usual offer.

There is a bit of a drive for me to go and get it, about 3 hours one way. So if I drove down, I will bring it back however I don't know much about sewing machin so I don't really know.

Cheers
Arnaud

Ok I manage to get the number on the plate of him.
So it is a Adler 067-373, I am not sure about those number but they are on the plate too 067990048.

So what do you think?
Is any of you use this machin in the past or now?

I did google it with the number 067-373 to try to find the manual. But I did not find much only 2 pages.
I also saw that a similar machine was sold in the Uk at a auction £150 so about €200.

I modify the title of my post has I use the old one, I have created 3 mouth ago.
