Rhale Report post Posted March 12, 2018 Can anyone tell me when a singer 111w155 ser# w1448099 was made? I have a chance to buy one and know nothing about them, comes with new stand/table recently serviced and seems to work very well, is it worth $450?

OLDSTITCHER Report post Posted May 13, 2018 I've had my singer 111W155 since 1982 and it was quite used back then when i worked in a car upholstery shop, my boss gave it to me as bonus instead of $500 for a job we did prior, I oil it everytime I use it and it's still working just fine like the day I got it. I used in the shop I worked at and was angry a few times and had mass production work at time so I've done some really fast work on it without breakage, this machine is a tank!!! i only wish it had reverse but i'm sure it's a lot less than a Juki or a Phaff which I've used also, I like the Juki since it's much like the 111w 155 but for the price I'm happy to this day!!! for the first time since i've owned it i had to order needles for it online , i wish i found this group first but that's no biggie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
