Default Spare Parts

I have been given an Elna 9000. The feed dogs are not working because there is a screw snapped. My local repair shop say that Elna no longer make the part. I wonder if anyone has any idea of sites that stock obsolete parts that I can search for new part. TIA

Contact Ray White (google him). He may have a donor machine he can help you with.

I have an Elna Supermatic donor machine. I have no idea whether those feed dogs would help you, but if you can determine whether they will fit your 9000, let me know if you want mine. I suspect they are incompatible, I don't really know.

But yes, apparently Ray White is The Elna Parts Dude.

Goodluck!

I must be tired. when I read the title to this thread I thought it said "square pants" and thought "oh, Spongebob, how weird for a sewing machine forum"

Not sure where you can buy the part but your repairman should be able to figure out how to fix it for you. If not then it can't be fixed. I found out that Elna parts are impossible to buy. Elna is out of business and the only way I have been able to get parts is to buy other an old Elna on ebay for parts.

Thanks for responses, have emailed Ray White to see if he can help. Cecelia, will check with my repair man if the parts would be compatible and get back to you.

How old a machine is the Elna 9000. I have a spare Elna, can't determine the exact age or model right at this moment; but if the feed dogs and their screws might be the same, PM me and we can make arrangements to get it to you.....

Here's what an Elna 9000 looks like. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elna-9000-se...-/131012101798
