Default An Atlas, PINK, finally

Check another one off the wish list. She came with attachments in a pink box and the instruction manual which I have scanned. The pink color of the machine is actually closer to the color in the manual. I do have to replace the motor belt and will be replacing the cord block as whoever replaced the original power cord did a messy job of it.

She was purchased 13 May 1959 per the date on the lifetime
guarantee. I did a $$ equivalent for what the sewing machine
would cost now, $1,743.00. That was a big investment in a
sewing machine back then.

I am having deja vu here. A couple of months ago I found one just like this on CL. It also came with a pink tin of attachments, the book, and a very worn belt. I got a "rubber" belt from my local Pfaff dealer but need to take the machine in to get a "real" belt for it. Don't you just love the pink color? It's really heavy but they run like a champ. Have fun with yours!!!

Yay for getting a machine off your wish list! She is pretty in pink, and I adore that manual. $1700 by today's standard? Wow. Enjoy your catch!
