Thanks for the cleaning sugestion. I planned on giving a good cleaning one I get it moved to my sewing room. Some people were asking about the pulley sizes. The motor pulley is 3" and the machine pulley is 3.25" So pretty much direct drive. The guy a bought it from, got it from the original owner. The original owner is 82 years old. I am really thinking about contacting him for some history on the machine. He was involved in an accident a "few" years ago and didn't used the machine again. I hate to bother him, but he would probaly know everything I would want to know.

I am looking for the clamp that holds the light to the ball on the back of the machine. Maybe one of you guys have one lying around, if not I will make something for now.

Here are some more including the serial number

Picts didn't attach for some reason. trying again.

Thank you all for your help. You guys ROCK! The motor is a biggy. I havent been able to find any help to get the table/motor up stairs to my sewing room. My wife helped me get it off the truck, but she aint big enough to help me mussle it stairs. As soon as I get it together I will be needing some more help. I will glady make a clean PDF of my manuals. Thank you all for your help. You guys ROCK! The motor is a biggy. I havent been able to find any help to get the table/motor up stairs to my sewing room.

Singer Letter.pdfThanks, I received an original Instruction manual, parts book and a letter from the Previous owner. He is a good friend of the original purchaser who's company this letter is addressed. The PO believes that the machine was purchased soon after the letter was written and therefore the machine is close to this date. It is interesting about the German production. I attached a PDF of the letter I have. When did the Bridgeport Factory burn?

I heard all the records were lost in a fire. Were all the "w" machines made in Bridgeport? I have a letter from Singer addres to the original owner dated 1963. It was in response to the PO wanting a quote. Singer wrote that a 111w155 would be good for him and could be purchase delivered and set up for $516.65 I believe that this letter is referencing my machine that he eventually purchased. Just thought I could get the actual year of production. You are right I love the machine and will continue no matter what year it is. Thanks

Hello folks! Well after months of searching and researching I finaly found a 111w155 complete about 3 hours from my house. $250.00 later and it was mine. It came with some info that tends to make me want to believe its around a 1963, but would like to know for sure. The serial number is PB 1508042. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks -Ed
