Help: Machine Id Needed

Recommended Posts

Found this on the net, seller doesn't seem to know much about it (or even a name), I'm trying to bet some better pics from him.

Any information you can give about the beast would be appreciated.

This is a Singer 153W that has a walking foot,it's basicially a 111w machine w/a cylinder arm,in softer leather it'll sew just under 3/8" & use #138 thread.It looks like it needs an end plate on it you shouldn't run it w/o one,check to see if they have it.

Singer 153W101 2 or 3, all pretty good medium weight machines, which means generally up to 3/8". It is a compound feed machine which makes it great for multiple layer leather. A lot of these machines were setup to sew pretty fast, 2000-3000 spm with a clutch motor, way too fast for general leatherwork, any dealer on LW can sell you a motor to slow it down to a crawl. Make sure it has a tight needle bar and not too much play in the shaft, some were rode hard at the factories but usually maintained well. Get a good motor and keep it oiled and it will run forever.
