There's a guy on the internet that has a lot of Elna parts. I can't think of the site off the top of my head, but I have e-mailed and asked him a bunch of questions about my Elna Supermatic, and he is really nice and very helpful. They use cams to do other stitches. Even mine, which is early 50's.
You may mean Ray White - WhiteSewingCenter-. He is an old Elna man and knows a lot about machines in general. He just lost his wife due to a stroke and will not be online for a while.
Robert Arbuckle in Noblesville, IN is another Elna specialist. He is in his 90s and has a TON of parts, wonderful machines and fabric. I don't know why but he isn't much on giving out information. If you are in the area stop in for eye candy treat.
