Well I bought it, he showed me how to tune it up and went through several procedures and how to use it, etc. It doesn't seem to go that fast, he said he had it turned down to about 1000 stitches/minute. I will provide pictures/video soon.

His ad claims 2 horse, unless it's a mis type. I will ask for a closer picture of the motor, but from his description it seems to be true.

Thank you for your help, it has a 2hp motor on it so that's where I assumed the cost went.

That's just what the ad says - "motor has been sized up and the stitches per minute slowed down." I assumed this was accomplished by the large pulley underneath the motor.

Hey all, I would like to learn how to do auto upholstery and started looking for a sewing machine. After some research, I learned I need a compound feed walking foot machine. So I've found a singer 211g155 (with table and all, he has 69 nylon thread in it) that has just been serviced and is in fine shape with a 2hp motor and a pulley to slow it down. He's asking 550, and says he has 400 in the new motor. Also comes with a thread stand, extra bobbins, extra needles, and a bobbin spooler Not sure if it's slow enough, was thinking I could possibly swap the clutch motor for a servo motor with someone or sell it and buy one. Do you think this price is fair? Will the singer work for me? Need a quick response, planning to go see it tomorrow morning and I'll be busy the rest of the week. Thanks much
