Re: atlas machine

   Dear group'
My daughter just picked up a 1959 ponk atlas sewing machine in a wooden
cabinet for $9.95 at a local goodwill. She got it home, cleaned and oiled it
and it sews fine.  The only thing wrong is that a little lever is broken but
still in the box that puts it in reverse.  It has screws so we think if we
can get the piece out of the hole that broke off,  we can find something
suitableto replace it.
My question is this:  is this a good machine? It appears to be fairly heavy
duty and has just gobs of attachments that my 14 y o is dying to jump into.
If anyone could give me info I would surely appreciate it.
Thanks, Sue


It's a good solid machine, bomb-proof enough for a 14yo to be turned loose on. For that money, go for it. You've not exactly got a lot to lose by mucking about with it, have you? After all, it's unlikely ever to be a valuable collectable in your lifetime.
