No, I didn't take any other pics. I've been up to my elbows in dust and chemicals for nearly 3 days:>

I was thinking too bad it wasn't a 301 but she really is pretty and I feel fortunate to have her.
Anyone familiar with this model?
Also found this one on Kijiji - anyone know what model and company it is?

The machine on the Kijiji link is a National Graybar. Pretty machine!

I'm wondering if you have the needle in correctly? The flat side goes in facing to the right and threads from left to right(outside to inside).

Why don't one of you make the guy an offer! I'd go for it if I hadn't of gotten the Hitachi! I still might!

The Adler you have is electric isn't it, has to be if it is a 1957 machine. This Adler is older and a treadle, which is why I am watching it on Craigslist!
Candace are you going to get the Adler?
