    I have an Atlas Pasta machine with the hand crank and adjustable thickness dial (spring load dial
    with 9 settings). I think I have damaged it and I am interested if anyone else has experienced this
    type of damage and has been able to repair it.

    Symptoms:
    1.) It appears the back roller which is moved to adjust the thickness is warped. The pasta comes out
    with a wavy. That is, the pasta sheet is thinner in some place than others. I can clearly see the
    roller moving closer and then farther away from the other roller.

    2.) I can not tell for sure, but I think the dial is suppose to assist locking this roller. The dial
    on my machine does not see to do this.

    Do these symptoms sound familiar? If you have experienced this, was it permanent damage or were you
    able to repair it?

    I have seen this website. desiredcreations.comhowTo PQueenAtlasMaint.htm. But it does
    not seem to fit my situation.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Can't help you with that one...

    For mine, the dial pulls out slightly before you turn the dial, then sort of pops back in. This
    locks the mechanism.

    If your roller is warped, give Atlas a call. Maybe they can send you a replacement. OTOH, if you
    have no moral problems with it, you could also buy a new one, do a fast substitute, and return the
    warped one. Uh, I didn't really suggest that.
