I have been looking casually for a machine and came across a singer 111w155 for $300 in working order. It has the original clutch motor but I would plan on upgrading it to a servo if I end up buying it. I don't plan on this being my only machine long-term but would like something that can handle light to midw-weight chrome tan leathers as well as canvas. I would use this machine mainly for bags (10-12oz chrome tan total thickness) but would also be thrilled if I could do dress belts with 3-5oz chrome tan on the top and a 5-6oz veg for the backing. I realize that the 111w155 doesn't have reverse, but I don't mind finishing the stitch by hand. Would this machine suite the needs I've listed here and what is your all's opinion about the price?

Hello all, I have been on the look out for a cheap machine to kick start my small leather business and happened to come across this machine in my area. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any information online about this machine based on the pictures that were given. The owner claims it can sew leather (of course) but I am doubtful without knowing more. Does anyone have any information regarding this Consew/Brother Model 80? Thanks for the help!
