![]() The arm shaft will be left in place because it is:įollowing my cardinal rule of “do no harm” in a sewing machine restoration, the risk damaging something trying to disassemble the arm shaft far outweighs the benefit. ![]() The machine will be completely disassembled except for the arm shaft. ![]() Regardless of the date they were made, they are all very high quality machines and worthy of restoration. ![]() Pink Atlas’s were made in the 1950’s and the 1960’s. I wish I knew more about the production years, but for machines of Japanese manufacture there are no production records that can be compared against a serial number to establish a production date. So far, I have seen four different variations in the bed decals and I suspect it is a detail that would date the machine. It is a little detail, but I thought it was interesting enough to set this machine apart from the others… it’s in the bed decals. This particular machine is a little different than the others I have done, and this difference is the reason I acquired this machine from the other pink Atlas’s I regularly come across. Made by Brother, they are cast iron bodied and all metal sewing machines that have an oscillating hook and uses class 15 bobbins. I have done several of these and they are just that… very high quality precision all metal sewing machines. This restoration is for a 1950’s or 1960’s “pink” Atlas precision sewing machine.
