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.
Athena machines can be dated by the serial number. Now I have to think about this some, as I keep forgetting just which way it went, but basically it
works like this:
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
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.
