SARK9, Yeah that's the one. I hadn't notices the tapped holes but there are LOTS. When you say: all bets are off as far as what is "original" with that sort of history wouldn't mean they might have taken out the walking needle would it? I'd hate to drive all the way down there and find a machine that isn't triple feed. If you were buying this machine what would you look at to make sure it's in good shape and what questions (and the answers) would you ask the seller? Thanks for your help.

Wow everyone, thanks for all the feedback. Exactly what I want to hear! So the seller doesn't know his sewing machines very well. I'll take a look at it and see what kind of shape it's in. Any particular vulnerabilities on a 111w155 that I should watch out for? He has it listed as a 111w155-7. What is the significance of the -7? I'm sure this has been answered a bunch but where would I find a good value on a servo motor for this machine? Thanks Chris (GREAT forum by the way!)

I'm looking at a local Singer 111w155 and my web research says those machines came with triple feed but the guy says it has a walking foot but not a walking needle. Has anyone ever seen a 11w155 without a walking needle? Thanks in advance for your help. Chris
