Default Adler 87 aquisition and question.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]589891[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]589892[/ATTACH]

I was traveling with others this weekend and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to grab this Adler. But it turned out that the 3 others in the car wanted to see a woman who lived 2 blocks away. Not bad when we started 100 + miles away.

Anyway, I now have a model 87, Machine runs and the jabber thingy moves up and down and zig zags.

The check spring for the thread under that take up arm is not working and is in two pieces. On other machines I know this would be broken. Not sure on this beastie. Anyone know?

Also, the red at the tension disc is on of two felt pads between the back of the discs and other parts. Isn't that interesting?
