Members Jome Posted November 14, 2015 Members Report Posted November 14, 2015 Can anyone give me any information on a SINGER 152K103. I cannot find any information about this sewing machine and I have one I am looking at. Thanks alot! Quote
Members Gump Posted November 15, 2015 Members Report Posted November 15, 2015 Checked ISMACS, and they don't list a 152 k 103. Perhaps you are looking at a 153 cylinder arm machine. A 153 has about the same specs as a 2700 Techsew, without reverse. I use my 153 k 103 more than any of my others because of the versatility of the cylinder arm. The only 152 listed is a 2 needle chain stitch machine, and not for leather. Quote
Uwe Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 A photo of what you're looking at (especially the name/model plate) would really help us gather information about the machine. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Members Jome Posted November 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks Gump, the sewing machine I am looking at must be the 153 k 103. I know nothing about sewing machines but I am trying to learn because I have this Singer I am looking at. Any information you have on it would be helpful.For instance, I don't even know what thread size this Singer can use. Here is the best picture of the sewing machine that I have Uwe, I cannot read the model number because the picture is too blurry. That is why I thought it was a Singer 152 k 103, because that is what it was listed as. Thanks! Edited November 15, 2015 by Jome Quote
Uwe Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 It sure looks like a 153K103 to me. Often the people posting the ads just make typo. Seems like a nice machine in good condition. There's a User Manual for the Singer 153K103 with specs and other details. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Members dikman Posted November 15, 2015 Members Report Posted November 15, 2015 Certainly looks pretty good - been repainted? Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members Jome Posted November 16, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks a lot Uwe! I am not sure if it was repainted dikman. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 16, 2015 Members Report Posted November 16, 2015 Machine appears to be from the 1960´s because of the nameplate and Singer tag. Check with ISMACS and look up the serial number so you will probably find the orig. Mfg. date. Looks like a binding machine. You probably have to change the needle plate and maybe the feed dog if you want to sew leather.

Members Jome Posted November 16, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 16, 2015 Thank you Constabulary, the only sewing machine I see listed in the Ismacs is Singer 153 w 103, is this the same as the 153 k 103? And with changing the parts you mentioned, would this be a good machine for sewing leather? Quote
