Nope, ISMACS.net does not list anything past a 111w156. https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/model-list/classes-100-199.html

OMG, Uwe, I love you!!!! I bought a 111w155 off ebay. It had a broken feed rocker shaft. I bought the new shaft but could not figure out the correct position of the feed dog! Your video showed me that the stitch regulator was off a little, and that the feed dog was off. Now my machine walks properly!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! If you have a machine that seems to feed backward, check that your safety clutch "S" screw is in the groove, and that the stitch regulator "S" screw is in the groove.

I have been lurking for a few months - thank you all for the information here! Thank you, @Uwe, for your wonderful video on timing the 111w155. I need help finding good sources for 111w155 parts. Good parts, that fit as they should. Not almost good enough. I received a feed dog rocker shaft [Singer PN 223650], "new". The shaft diameter of the new part is 12 thousandths of an inch smaller than the original. That is a lot of play at up to 3200 Stiches per minute. Yes, you can feel it. The bolt for the feed dog lever will not fit into the new shaft, and the new shaft is not threaded. The bolt is 0.3850, and the hole is 0.3775, a difference of 7.5 thousandths. Is there anyone that doesn't deal in Chinese crap?

Hello! I am retired and like to rescue vintage sewing machines. Recently, I decided to try my own upholstery - definitely not a pro! - and have ended up with a couple of industrial machines. Mostly, they are rescues and my searches for information brought me to the wealth of info on this site. Thank you very much.
