It sews real fast, and I will most likely need a speed reducer or servo motor. My brother may go look at it with me this evening, anything I need to watch out for?

One thing to double check- The plunger you depress to change the stitch length seems to be missing.....

I'm glad you circled where it should be, I might have looked for hours. Do you think it's a 226? Or whatever a 226 is copied from?

Or just pass...

Thanks for the help, William.

William,

It sure looks like a 226R, which is kind of a clone of the Singer 211. The button/plunger that SARK9 mentioned should be there, but could be missing. You should check to see that the rest of the mechanism is still there. If you look under the cover over the riser (far right top of machine), there should be a little wheel or something engraved with stitch lengths. You push the button (eyeball and see if you can use a dowel or something) and rotate the balance wheel toward you, when the button drops in, the wheel in the riser should indicate the current stitch length setting. Just to let you know how it SHOULD work.

My brother used to sew at a furniture plant that's closed down 5 years or so ago. This machine is supposed to come from there. It comes with a handful of parts and a small box full of cones of thread some still in the plastic.they are at least 3 most likely 5 years old, for practice only. If I gear this down or servo motor this will it do 3/8 or more leather for holsters. Have that as a tinkering project and long term goal.

Thank you, William.
