thought I found treasure: 189A Adler
I was in a thrift today and saw this Adlermatic. German, cast iron zig zgeer, with extra feet.
woohooo Till I looked more closely. The timing belt was shredded.
A few strands were holding, but you can see some above the base. I can't find that anyone sells belts.

At least I got this one rotated correctly.

I think I have tracked this down once before, to a single seller in Germany who has new cleated (cogged?) belts. On the same subject; there are pictures of serviced Adlers with a new type black rubber belt, I guess it's mostly about finding the right dimensions, circumference as well as distance between the coggs.

Here is the place, but looks like it is in France, not Germany. There is a discussion on this on a German forum, if I understand it correctly some track down belts with the right space for the metal clips and then shorten it to a suitable size, both the metal and rubber version, how exactly I'm not sure.

I did some looking last night. My high school German wasn't up to the task. Beyond Peugeot, Motobecane and Renault, my French is sorely lacking, Oui?
I'll try again. I was drained last night.
