The serial number is 62958. I called Adler and was told that Adler does not keep records of any of their machines. I checked out the internet and could not find anything. Can anyone tell me about this sewing machine? Hopfully Nancy will post pictures of it for me :lol: . Kathie

Well that is interesting! I was avoiding the 185's because of the clanking noise! They are so cute, though, I will be on the lookout for one now - my Pfaffs purrrrrrr!

Was it a 185 or a 285 - the 285s were pretty crummy machines - not built as well.

Quick Q. If you can't lower them, can you free motion if you pull out the feed dogs? I was thinking of playing around with the Spartan. She did have a little issue with the tension spring. I didn't catch on to it right away though. DUH. Got it fixed and learned a lot. I think maybe that is why she was never used. I can see why someone would want to hand crank too. Sweet little machine!
