Hi Everyone,

I was just at a local resale shop, where I bought a beautiful Atlas Precision sewing machine, circa 1957. I keep hearing that these particular machines are workhorses with consistent even stitches. And you can drop the feed dogs. The retro pink color is kind of cool too. There are very few chips in the paint and it came with the original pink pedal and the original case.

So, here's the thing. Because the motor needs replacing, the owner of the resale shop sold me the machine for $10. I don't know anything about sewing machine repair, so I bought it, thinking the most I had to lose was ten bucks. Does anyone know anything about replacing a motor on one of these machines? It's 1.2 amps. Any other advice or information y'all might have on the Atlas Precision machines would be welcome too!

Thanks!
