I have two question for you; is the shuttle # 065 00 185 4 the same size as the # 0204 150104, Interchangeable?
What shuttle came with the first 105-25 MO sold, before they changed the shuttle to the # 065 00 185 4, was it this #005 00 290 4?
Or what is the original part number on the shuttle the machine was first produced with?
There has to be someone there in the company that knows this.
For information to others.
I found an old original part list for my Adler 5-27 (the forerunner of the class 105) in an antiquarian in Austria.
The shuttle for the class 5 machine have the # 05 195 and bobbin # 05 242.
(The bobbin for the closed frame shuttle #005 00 290 4 is # 005 00 242 0, do you see something similar? Take away some zero’s and you will have the same part number as the class 5 bobbin that fit. I think the shuttle
#005 00 290 4 maybe is the one that fit, because it uses the same bobbin)This shuttle is exactly the same as in my 105-25 MO. A small open frame shuttle
.And it is the same size as the Singer 45K ( But the 45K uses a closed frame one with bit different hook tip, some also uses a open frame one)
I can not understand why DA can change a part number in a part list with out writing down the old one in the same part list. For this is machines that last longer than a lifetime, I have an old class 5 in new condition. The only wear you will find on this old sewing machines (including the class 105) is the tension screws, on their original shuttle (bobbin tension screw). The screw is too small, (2, 4 mm) and the head wears out fast. I got three shuttles with the same problem. That is of course why they changed it.
If you got some more information about this, I am sure it will be of interests for owners of old class 5 and 105 sewing machines.
In advance thanks.

>> Dear Thomas,
> Thanks , This answer is very helpful to me. Now I know what to order for my machine. I also know the shuttle # 005 00 290 4 will fit my obsolete class 5-27, other class 5 and 4 machines too. I wonder what part number the small open frame shuttle had, because the # 005 00 290 4 is a closed frame shuttle, mine is an open frame one. Thanks you for the answer and for supporting us with old Adler sewing machines. I heard about this blog on leatherworker.net, keep up the good work.
