DenverLeather Report post Posted May 21, 2011 Hello all, Figured I'd give this board a shot --- I'm planning on building a table or pedestal for my Singer 153, but thought I'd see if anyone within a day's drive had one for sale or trade? I'm in Denver, Colorado. I have a motor, just need a table --- or any ideas on where else to look, to buy one.. Thanks! AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeeperaz Report post Posted May 21, 2011 Keep an eye on craigslist. Sometimes you can find a cheap machine just for the table. I ordered a table top from atlaslevy ... cheapest i could find with shipping. They also have legs and just about everything else you might need. https://atlaslevy.3dcartstores.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted May 26, 2011 You need a table that only has a slot for the belt, holes for the motor and a hole for the foot lifter chain. The frame should be a k-legs frame. They come with just the motor speed pedal. You'll need to buy the foot lifter pedal and bracket and chain. Note, that most industrial machines have a knee lever foot lifter. This does not work on a Singer 153, or a 227 clone machine. They require a flex chain that feeds straight down to a narrow floor pedal. You'll also need to buy a bobbin winder to screw onto the table and a two spool thread stand, that screws onto it. Atlas Levy charges $195 plus shipping for a "standard" industrial table, with a 7 x 19 inch cutout for a flat bed machine and oil pan. This table will NOT work for your Singer 153 cylinder arm machine. It will fall through the rectangular cutout, unless you add another piece of hard wood to cover that hole and bolt the machine to the top piece, then bolt the top piece to the table. The pedestal half-table sold by Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines is perfectly matched to your machine, which has clones known as 227 types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
