We have a Consew 225 down at the shop that is similar to a Singer 111W155 (no reverse) that we’ve used for several years. I put an 8:2 speed reducer on it last year and we just love it now for our kind of work (repairs and embroidered patches). I have a Singer 111G156 that I haven’t gotten to use much yet, and it has a reverse on it. I have a step pulley to put on it that will give me a 10:1 speed reduction, so it should give me really nice slow speed control. Maybe I can set it to sew, go get a cup of coffee, and get back before I need to change the direction of the sewing on it (hehe). My Consew and this machine both have 1725 RPM clutch motors on them.
