Forum Search tells me JoAnne had an Athena 2000, but anyone else? Anyone still using it?
I've had the idea to give my niece a sewing machine for her college graduation, and it just dawned on me to look at my Mom's machine & see if refurbishing that (with cabinet) would be "as good" or better than whatever basic-level machine I can afford (in this day & time, less than when the idea of a new machine first hit me). So it's a Singer Athena 2000-- internet search tells me this was THE first electronic machine ever, dates back to about 1975. I didn't get a chance today to try it out, although I did try to use it soon after she passed away to mend something, & I was in a big hurry & flustered & couldn't get it to work, so it may have problems, may not, but I do have a good repair man in town. But if it's not obscenely expensive to repair, is it a generally good machine?
Thoughts?
