Actually it's teal, white, and chrome, not pink. I found pictures of basically identical looking ones with Belair and Modernage name tags online, but I still wasn't able to find any specific info like a manual or anything.
Also, I was able to get it working; the nob was just stuck because of the old grease and loose springs but idk if the foot is supposed to move for the zigzag stitches or what because it only works with the zigzag set to zero. It definitely needs a thorough clean and re-grease, but it's surprisingly clean tbh, just a little dusty.

I'm using my phone right now, so I don't think it will let me post a picture, but I'll try on my computer when I get a chance. Here's a link to a picture of the Belair one that looks identical (hopefully it will work):

There is a facebook page for Pink Atlas Sewing machines at https://www.facebook.com/groups/544577085733663/ I used to belong to some Yahoo groups, that were quite helpful with my vintage machines. When Yahoo did away with groups, most migrated to either facebook or io.groups.

The machine will need a good cleaning and oiling. Sometimes that is all that is needed. It is possible that the machine has the wrong foot on it. How is the knob malfunctioning?

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?

Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap

Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
