SINGER Athena 1200 Electronic Sewing Machine Embroidery Serger EXCELLENT WORKING

Description: I purchased this sewing machine at an estate sale yesterday where the owner had a ton of vintage electronic items from the 50’s thru the 80’s and I bought this one even though I couldn’t find a single one for sale or sold. It is in such good shape MADE IN THE U.S.A. And knew it was worth the price. Today I began playing around with it and when it was plugged in the light came on, the power feed worked when I pushed down on the pedal but the needle wasn’t going up and down. Well, it turns out that those little brown buttons in the gold trim are your pattern selections and the needle isn’t engaged until you make a selection. I discovered that with each different selection the needle moved in a different direction. It runs and sounds great and I don’t notice a bunch of thread lint anywhere so it was either carefully maintained or has little use. I went home for supper and did a little research and found that the manual for this model is available and free. I believe that it was manufactured in 1977 and cost $1,400.00 new. I got that last figure from one post only but if it is true this was a very expensive machine for it’s day. I should also mention that the reviews are excellent. And the parts, etc., are very much available. This is a quality machine that functions as designed, the parts are very available and you couldn’t come close to this price for anything modern that is remotely comparable in quality. Because this is electronic and 30+ years old, and there are so many dishonest people out there who scam sellers with saying this or that doesn’t work, and willing to make it not work, so that they can get you to give them a partial refund rather than eating shipping both ways, this is being sold as parts only. At the same time look at my feedback. I am not a liar. This machine works great. You will not be disappointed. SINGER Athena 1200 Electronic Sewing Machine Embroidery Serger EXCELLENT WORKING.
