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.

A photo of what you're looking at (especially the name/model plate) would really help us gather information about the machine.

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!

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.

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.

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?
