Dressmaker sewing machine

I don't feel like writing a long entry tonight, so here's another underwhelming sewing machine teardown.

The only remarkable thing about this sewing maching, to me anyway, is that it is painted blue. I didn't even notice that until I got home with it, as the mercury vapor streetlights tend to wash out and obscure pastel colors. Why blue? I have no idea. I'm not familiar with the Dressmaker brand, and a cursory Google search (The lack of a model number or name didn't help in that regard) didn't come up with any particularly interesting information, other than they have made other blue models. If it was one of a series of color options, like KitchenAid does with their stand mixers, that would make sense, but I couldn't find any other colored Dressmaker sewing machines. Then I got bored and quit looking.

The top knobs came off, and the plastic faceplate came off, but that's about it. Everything else was fastened too tight.

I've decided to photograph my trophy piles in a more organized manner. Since the whole raison d'être for this blog is to document what I've taken apart, and what parts came from where, it makes more sense to spread everything out where I can see it. Not that there's much to see in this pile.
