That's too bad...I live in N. CA too and I lived in the Napa Valley during my high school years. Small world. I would be interested in the cams if you can't use them. I'll PM you!

I do remember it was a lot of money and I did not ask my husband first!! Just bought it!! |
I do not have this model but I have an Elna SU from 1973 and I would not part with it for anything. It runs so smooth and quiet compared to newer machines

Congrats, enjoy!

Oh, I am so excited to see this post! I am considering buying something similar today. In a recent donation, I got a bunch of cams for an Elna, so I contacted the thrift store that got the rest of the donation to learn about the machine.
All they could tell me is that "It is white (Elna SU air electronic). It does have a pneumatic foot control. It does have an instruction manual." They are asking $40. Does this sound like a good deal? Thanks, and thanks for posting about your score! |
Very nice! What did you name her?? :)

Ignorance is bliss, or so they say!
My GF had an Elna in the 70's but I have never heard of "cams? Can someone please tell me/us? Thanks |
Heather, these are what they look like. Many vintage machines and manufacturers used external cams that you pop in and out for different decorative stitches. http://images.search.yahoo.com/image...mb=QugTSLM6i2y

Jane, my machines all have the same name..."sewing machine". I'm not one that gives them people names:> Hehe.
