Singer 44-10 modification help

[StitchDoc]

I have a Singer 44-10 that has been gathering dust for the past 40+ years until I retired and started getting into leatherwork. Unfortunately the clutch motor is a bit too touchy for me to control the speed. Ive seen where replacing the clutch motor with a servo motor will solve that problem but, not sure which one to get. 

I would also like to retro fit it with a walking foot but have no idea if that is possible or where to get one if it is. 

Any recommendations are appreciated

I moved your post to leather sewing machines.  You'll get more interest in this area.

Have you looked through this forum? you will find a number of discussions about servo motors.

This thread addresses your question about a walking foot.  I did a Google search "site leatherworker.net Singer 44-10" and found a lot of information.
