I have been eye-balling a 301 at my local SMRshop, just can't swing right now. But, I will get one.[/quote]

Are the bullet shaped shuttles made to go on just one machine or can one from an old bag of parts fit?

Also, as you can see, some of them are rusty, or otherwise dirty? What's a good way of cleaning them?

My sister in Mesa, AZ has two she says wants to part with - one long bed and a short bed.
I saw this on CL and finally figured out (I think) it's an Elna Plana Supermatic. Can anyone give me the skinny on it? How hard are they to take care of? Hard to find attachments? Straight stitch only? Thanks!

Ida and I were both "born" in 1951. :-) I was so pleased that she did so well....she just purred along!!
