The Athena made its debut in 1975, and in my opinion, was an instant success. Singer had set the standard in Electronics, and open the door to a whole new world. Later the machine would be relabeled as a "Touch
Tronic". Why, I don't know right off.
No letter should precede any digits, if it does, and this refers to when they debuted in 1975, then it was a factory refurbished machine. Meaning it was return to the factory, mainly due to electronic problems that could
not be solved in the field just yet. If I recall, the serial may start with an X or F, or perhaps both XF...plus, keep in mind, serial numbers were normally stamped in the frame before they were painted. So if the number is
stamped in a non-painted area, that would provide some clue, or a display of what appears to be a double stamping before the serial number. (updated 10/20/10)
Ok, it goes like this: example serial is 5123321 (5 - 123 - 321)
The 5 is the year made, 1975 - The 123 was the number of machine off the line that day - The 321 was the day of the year it came off the line. One could determine if it was built on a Monday, or perhaps a Wednesday.
Now I may have the last 3 digits backwards, and will update this when confirmed If you know for a fact, do let me know.

| 2000 Panel Removal |
| Repair guides on the Futura page will apply to these models, however, differences to: Panel Removal, Bobbin Case Settings, Timing Marks & Parts Removal will vary from model to model. The theory of operation & adjustment is fairly standard. If you are handy with a screwdriver, the guides should be of great help. It should be noted that one does need a little mechanical imagination. Please feel free to check out the Yahoo Athena group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/singer_athena/ |
