I finally did it! Sorry I can't post a pic but I've been looking for a good used machine for my daughter who has recently moved into her first house. I got an Elna Supermatic with all attachments (including original screwdriver!) that just SCREAMS the '50's for $25! Brought it home and mechanically inclined DH spent 2 hrs cleaning and oiling and running up and downstairs to consult manual online. At the end of the reconditioning session, there were Q-tips, toothpicks, wire brush, white grease, kerosene, paper towels, something called "goof off" sewing machine oil, a flashlight and a beautifully purring machine that sews like a dream. I've looked for well over a year knowing that good machines are out there so to all of you who may still be on the hunt, anything is possible!
