TaDa!!! Here it is. It came yesterday, but I had to clean, oil and repair the power cord before I could plug it it. I fixed the cord, and it runs like a dream. I am going to try to sew with it tomorrow.

What a neat machine.How old is it? Any problem finding needles or bobbins for it?

Have fun playing with it.

It is very small 10" tall and 13" wide! The carrying case goes around the free arm to make a sewing table. It came with 4 feet and 5 bobbins. There is a tiny plate to put over the feed dogs. This is Elna's model #1, called the "grasshopper", it is straight stitch only. There is no foot pedal, just the knee lever.
