Is the seiko LSW-8BL a decent machine for leather? If I were looking at one secondhand is there any known problems with this model?

I looked up that machine and it is good for leather upholstery, or chaps, jackets, vests, straps, belts, or other not too thick or dense leather projects. It should be able to use #138 thread top and bottom. This thread has 22 pounds breaking strength. It has a large M style bobbin.

Thank you for your reply Wiz. It looks like parts are easily found as well
